Why IVF may not work: Coping if IVF treatment doesn’t work<\/strong><\/h1>\n

If your IVF cycle wasn\u2019t successful it can be heartbreaking. All that effort, the injections, the blood tests, the ultrasounds, the procedures, the mood swings and bloating (!) and then the dreaded two week wait only to find out you\u2019re not pregnant. Again.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Even if you tried not to get your hopes up, it\u2019s natural to be disappointed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If your IVF treatment was unsuccessful, what should you do next?<\/b><\/p>\n

While it\u2019s natural to want to investigate and find out why it didn\u2019t work, I want to remind you to give yourself some time to grieve and allow your body to physically recover from the IVF treatment. When you\u2019re ready, talk to your doctor about whether you should try again and if they suggest any changes to your protocol.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why your IVF treatment didn\u2019t work?<\/b><\/h2>\n

You\u2019ll need to talk to your doctor for specific information about why your IVF treatment has been unsuccessful. Unfortunately, in most cases, you may not get a definitive answer.<\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>Generally, there are two main reasons why treatment doesn’t work: the cycle was cancelled before the eggs were collected or they could be transferred to your womb OR the embryos failed to develop after the transfer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The cycle was cancelled before an embryo transfer:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Your treatment might have been cancelled before the eggs are collected or before the embryos are transferred to the womb.<\/b><\/h2>\n

This happens if:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Your ovaries don\u2019t respond to the drugs used to stimulate egg production so there was no egg collection\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Your ovaries responded too much (ovarian hyperstimulation) to the drugs used to stimulate egg production and your doctor decided to wait another month or two before performing an embryo transfer. While frustrating if you were able to freeze embryos it\u2019s much safer to wait to transfer them.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • No eggs were found during egg collection. This can happen if the follicles (egg sacs) seen on ultrasound before egg collection turn out to be empty<\/span><\/li>\n
  • The collected eggs don\u2019t fertilize with the sperm so no embryos develop<\/span><\/li>\n
  • After fertilisation in the lab, the embryos fail to develop in the laboratory, so there are no embryos to transfer to the womb<\/span><\/li>\n
  • The embryos were not healthy after genetic testing<\/span><\/li>\n
  • The embryos did not survive the thawing process prior to the embryo transfer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    2. The embryos fail to develop in the womb<\/b><\/h2>\n

    This is the most common reason for IVF treatment being unsuccessful and it can be particularly devastating because you had a full cycle of tests, injections, procedures and hope. Often there\u2019s no obvious reason why the embryos fail to develop into a pregnancy although some possible reasons are:<\/span><\/p>\n
