FIND THE POSSIBLE REASONS BEHIND THE FAILED IVF CYCLE DELHI NCR

After the first failed IVF cycle, the question that usually pop-up in the patient’s mind is if whether or not they can transform this unsuccessful cycle into the successful one. While signing up for the IVF process most of the women fail to understand that IVF is not the magical potion that you will drink and boom… You are pregnant. Just like any other process it also involves risks and chances of failure. But with each IVF cycle, the chances of getting pregnant increase. So, rather than sticking with the failure, it is time to move ahead while learning from the causes of the first failed IVF cycle.

WHAT ARE THE KEY CAUSES BEHIND FAILED IVF CYCLE DELHI NCR?

Several factors are responsible for the failure of the IVF cycle including age, ovarian response, sperm quality, and more. To make things far easier to understand we have categorized causes into three parts:

• Lifestyle
• Uterine
• Embryo

Let’s dig further to know more about these factors…

LIFESTYLE FACTORS FOR FAILED IVF CYCLE DELHI NCR

As we already know that the pregnancy is contributed 50% from the maternal side that is the uterine side and the remaining is from the embryo side. And alongside this, the environment that surrounds that embryo and the uterus side also plays a significant role in the successful IVF. These environmental factors are known as Lifestyle Factors.

Today, most of us struggle between the hassle of work and home and lead a very unhealthy lifestyle which can partially affect our fertility. As the best IVF center in Delhi NCR, the first thing our specialist does is consult with the patients regarding their lifestyle including dietary habits, their schedule, smoking habits (if any), and their weight.  

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SMOKING, OVERWEIGHT, AND FAILED IVF CYCLE DELHI NCR

In studies, it was shown that women who smoke, are overweight, or underweight are less likely to have a successful IVF because it affects their egg quality, as well as their Endometrial receptivity. So, patients who are overweight are recommended to lose weight by bringing changes in their lifestyle including dietary changes, and incorporating healthy eating habits and exercise, even if the patient loses 5% of their total weight then, it will contribute by increasing the success rate. 

Along with weight, patients should also avoid smoking as it has been found that smoking has very dangerous effects on the receptivity. Plus, it also affects the quality of the embryos. So, if one of the parents is smoking then, it can seriously affect the chances of conceiving a healthy baby through IVF treatment. Hence, it is recommended to both men and women to stop smoking 3 months before starting the IVF to reduce the risk of miscarriage or failed IVF cycle. 

STRESS IS THE ENEMY AND MAJOR REASON BEHIND FAILED IVF CYCLE DELHI NCR

Stress also plays a significant role in the failed IVF because when the patient goes through the process, they have various expectations in their mind and they are so stressed out because of the continuous pressure they receive from their peers and family. To avoid unnecessary stress, patients are suggested to practice yoga, meditation, and relaxation techniques. It helps to avoid any negative thoughts, stress, and excessive thinking whether they are coming from the workplace, relative, or family. 

Making such small changes in the lifestyle can benefits when it comes to IVF treatment.  

UTERINE FACTORS BEHIND FAILED IVF CYCLE DELHI NCR

In the female, the uterine is the second most important factor that leads to infertility or failure of the IVF process. The fertility specialists at the SCI IVF explain uterus as the bed where the embryo will lie down and lead to a healthy pregnancy but if the uterus is unhealthy or there is any inflammation or infection in the uterus then, it may lead to embryo rejection and also effect the Endometrial receptivity. So, therefore, it is important to look into the uterine factors to increase the success rate. 

Such patients are subject to the diagnosis tests like ultrasound to detect any pathology which might have been overlooked such as small polyps, and fibroids which may have a negative impact on the Endometrial receptivity. So these pathological conditions are needed to be treated.

HYDROSALPINX FLUID BEHIND FAILED IVF CYCLE DELHI NCR

• Hydrosalpinx is the presence of toxic fluid in the fallopian tube that may leak into the uterus and may cause embryo rejection.
• Treating these tubal pathologies in patients with Hysteroscopy, and laparoscopy can increase the chances of conceiving by 4 times.  

THIRD-EMBRYO FACTORS BEHIND FAILED IVF CYCLE DELHI NCR

The third and the most important factor which may be responsible for the failed IVF is embryo quality. A poor embryo may never lead to a healthy pregnancy. The embryo is formed 50% from the sperm and 50% from eggs so, any problem or any flaw at the level of fertilization whether the male partner or female partner has low sperm or egg quality, may lead to poor embryo formation. Such poor-quality embryos result in the failed IVF. So, both male and female factors should be looked into separately. 

SPERM QUALITY BEHIND FAILED IVF CYCLE DELHI NCR

Coming to the malefactors, the semen analysis is usually repeated. If any sperm problem is found then, they need to be tackled properly. Advanced tests are also available at the clinic to detect any abnormalities in the semen quality such as DNA fragmentation index. In such patients who are found with the higher DNA Fragmentation Index or high damage in the DNA is counsel for the right treatment to lower the DNA Fragmentation Index and increase the number of quality sperms to fertilize and create healthy embryos. This will not only increase the chances of success of the IVF process but also lead to a healthy pregnancy.

SURGICAL SPERM RETRIEVAL BEHIND FAILED IVF CYCLE DELHI NCR

If despite the treatment the DNA Fragmentation Index doesn’t come down then, patients are further counseled for the surgical sperm retrieval as sperms that are surgically retrieved are found to have lower DFI compared to the ejaculated sperm. Apart from all the treatment, the patients are also counseled regarding the changes in their lifestyle factors. They are suggested to follow a healthy lifestyle and quit smoking, lose weight (if overweighed) and avoid stress. 

In the end, all these factors combined with the treatment may result in improved semen quality which will further improve the quality of the embryo. 

DONOR SPERM TREATMENT FOR FAILED IVF CYCLE DELHI NCR

In extreme cases where despite the treatment the no improvement in sperm quality found then, such patients are usually counseled for the donor sperm. As the chances of forming a healthy embryo with a healthy donor are higher, many couples find it as a great substitute. 

EGG QUALITY TREATMENT FOR BEHIND FAILED IVF CYCLE DELHI NCR

Younger women, less than 35 years of age are found to have high-quality eggs. So, the younger the woman, the better the egg quality. In studies, it was found that in women after the age of 35 the egg quality starts to decline. For such women with low egg retrieval, it is usually recommended to go with ovarian pooling where eggs are pooled through 2 to 3 IVF cycles. Those pooled are later used to form embryos. All of the formed embryos undergo preimplantation genetic testing where they are tested for any genetic abnormality of the chromosome. Delete quality and normality from the line so only healthy embryos are transferred into the female uterus.

So, after correcting the lifestyle, uterine, and embryo factors the chance of getting pregnant are very high!
