Why do I keep having implantation failure?
The causes of implantation failure are diverse and especially due to different maternal factors as uterine abnormalities, hormonal or metabolic disorders, infections, immunological factors, thrombophilias as well as other less common ones.
What are the symptoms of implantation failure?
Most women with implantation failure have no symptoms, but some may experience:
- Chronic pelvic pain.
- Bowel obstruction.
- Painful menses.
- Pain during intercourse.
- Infertility.
- Increased incidence of ectopic pregnancy.
Does autoimmune disease affect IVF?
The high occurrence of autoantibodies found in patients who failed at least three IVF and embryo transfer cycles could imply that these autoantibodies may be one of the possible causes of IVF failure in either mechanical or unexplained infertility.
How do you fix implantation problems?
Many treatments are used commonly to help reduce the incidence of implantation failure. Hormonal supplementation, blood-thinning medications, uterine or other pelvic corrective procedures, antibiotic therapy, limited immunotherapy, and IVF with PGT-A might be appropriate treatments for some patients but not others.
What is it called when a fertilized egg doesn’t implant?
A blighted ovum occurs when a fertilized egg implants in the uterus but doesn’t develop into an embryo. It is also referred to as an anembryonic (no embryo) pregnancy and is a leading cause of early pregnancy failure or miscarriage.
Why do genetically normal embryos not implant?
The lining of the uterus is receptive to the embryo for only a brief time, called the Window of Implantation. It is possible that a perfectly normal embryo might not implant because the lining was not ready for it. In natural cycles, the window may be 4-5d wide, but in our treatments in can be only 12-48h long.
