by Dr. Manika Khanna Gaudium IVF Centre

Regardless of the fact that success rates of In Vitro Fertilization are higher than other infertility treatments in Delhi, there are enough chances of failures in it as well. A large number of couples who un-dergo IVF do not have a baby successfully.

Given the time and money most couple spend on In Vitro Fertilization, it is extremely normal for any couple to be shattered and devastated after a failed IVF cycle. Nevertheless, it is not the end of the world. A failed IVF cycle does not imply that a couple cannot have a child. Despite a failed IVF Cycle, a couple stands a chance of success at a second attempt of IVF. However, the timeframe between two IVF cycles is an important question that arises here.

How long does a couple have to wait after a failed IVF Cycle to at-tempt another one? Can going for a second attempt of IVF right af-ter a failed IVF Cycle affect the pregnancy? Will a considerable time gap between the two IVF cycles increase the probability of success? While there are several questions that arises in the mind of couples who have failed an IVF Cycle, we make an attempt to clear your doubts.

In case of failure of an IVF cycle, it is pertinent for the couple to fig-ure out the reason that led to the failure of their cycle. It is also im-portant for the couple to know whether it was a complication in the patient or an act of negligence on the part of the fertility doctor that led to the failure of the IVF.

In case the IVF failed at the procedural level owing to the inexperience or mistake on the part of the doctor during egg retrieval or embryo transfer, it is important for the couple to change the fertility clinic and consult at the best IVF clinic in India. Nevertheless, if the reason causing the failure of your IVF cycle happens to be your quality of eggs, improper uterine receptivity or any other complication within your body, it is going to be of vital importance to rectify the problem before proceeding with a second attempt of IVF.

The reason causing the failure of your IVF helps one understand what needs to be taken care of to increase the chances of success during the next cycle.

After the cause of first IVF failure has been identified and rectified, there is generally no harm in proceeding with a second IVF Cycle. According to the best IVF doctors in India, the time gap between two IVF cycles is irrelevant as the success rate of repeat cycles does not depend on it. In fact, it totally depends on the couple as to how long they need to wait before proceeding with a second IVF Cycle.

However, while a couple exercises their choice as to whether they want to proceed with a subsequent cycle of IVF right after the failure of the first one, it is essential for them to consider the pa-tient’s physical and mental health, given the plausibility of emotional trauma following the failure of an IVF Cycle.

Gaudium IVF is one of the top IVF clinic in India known for its high success rates and cost effective fertility treatments.
