Recurrent Implantation

What is Recurrent Implantation Failure?

Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is the failure of embryo transfer during several cycles of the IVF treatment process. In addition, no formal standard defines the actual number of failed cycles. 
The procedure of embryo implantation includes two main components-
  1. A receptive endometrium that should allow implantation 
  2. A healthy embryo that leads to a healthy pregnancy. 
And if there is any abnormality found in the embryo then it will have a chance to fail the process of embryo transfer. The treatment of RIF is useful to find the abnormalities which are contributing to the failure of embryo implantation. Couples who are undergoing the process of infertility treatment must take an embryo scope first which is useful to examine the condition of embryos in the incubator.

Reasons for Implantation Failure

Congenital Uterine Abnormalities
These are abnormalities in the woman’s uterus which happen during embryo development.
Fibroids
Fibroids are tumours usually found in the muscles of the uterus, which can lead to pelvic pain. They affect the implantation success rates due to altering the shape of the uterus. Fibroids can lead to problems in conceiving and should be consulted immediately by gynaecologists.
Endometrial Polyps
These are found in the endometrium which leads to female infertility and the removal of endometrial polyps improves the chances of your pregnancy.
Management of Implantation Failure
If you are struggling to have a baby for a long time, Gomti Thapar Hospital offers you the best IVF treatments and will guide you about the precautions which will help you to increase the chances of pregnancy.
You can also make some lifestyle adjustments to improve your chances of conceiving, such as if you are a regular smoker, you must quit smoking. You must also remain healthy and maintain a healthy weight.
Exercise also plays an important role in conception; you should go for a walk daily which is useful to reduce the risk of a serious problem.
