Understand the factors that may affect embryo implantation and how a detailed review can help guide the next fertility treatment step.
What is recurrent implantation failure?
Implantation failure occurs when an embryo does not implant after embryo transfer. When implantation does not occur repeatedly, reviewing embryo, uterine and other fertility factors may help guide future treatment.
What can affect embryo implantation?
Pregnancy loss may result from different factors, sometimes occurring together.
Embryo chromosomal abnormalities
Uterine abnormalities
Endometrial factors
Hormonal factors
Embryo development
Age-related fertility factors

Embryo-related concerns
How is recurrent implantation failure evaluated?
A review of previous treatment can help identify areas that may need attention.
1. Previous Cycle Review
We assess previous IVF cycles, embryos and transfer outcomes.
2. Embryo Assessment
Embryo development and, when appropriate, genetic factors may be reviewed.
3. Uterine Assessment
The uterus and endometrial lining may be evaluated
4. Medical & Hormonal Review
Relevant hormonal, metabolic and other factors may be assessed.
Treatment Options for Recurrent Implantation Failure
Treatment is based on findings from the individual evaluation
Uterine Evaluation
Structural abnormalities may be identified and treated.
Endometrial Management
The uterine lining and transfer timing may be reviewed.
Embryo Assessment
Embryo development and genetic testing may be considered where appropriate.
