Failed IVF FAQs
A failed IVF cycle occurs when an embryo does not implant in the uterus.
Causes can include poor egg or sperm quality, issues with embryo
development, or problems with the uterine lining.
A failed IVF is typically confirmed when a pregnancy test is negative,
and further testing may be done to check hormone levels, uterine health,
and the quality of eggs and embryos.
Yes, adjustments can be made in subsequent IVF cycles, such as improving
egg quality, using different medications, or trying alternative
techniques like genetic screening or embryo freezing.

or sperm, considering embryo freezing, or exploring other treatments
like surrogacy depending on the specific situation.
