Why IVF Cycles Fail: The Genetic Factor We Can’t Ignore🧬
An unsuccessful IVF cycle, especially when the embryos were morphologically classified as "good quality," is a deeply challenging experience for many patients on their journey to parenthood. However, a failed implantation does not mean that pregnancy is impossible - it means that the strategy needs to be adjusted based on deeper diagnostics.
💬According to Dr. Violeta Fodina, MD, PhD, Head of the iVF Riga Clinic with 25 years of experience in reproductive medicine: "When patients face failed implantation, the biggest mistake is repeating the exact same treatment over and over. It is essential to pause, consult a specialist, find the real cause, and only then continue the fertility journey."
🔍 Why does implantation failure occur?
While uterine cavity pathologies, immune system disorders, or blood clotting issues (coagulopathy) play a significant role, statistics show that the primary cause is embryo genetic abnormalities. An embryo can look perfect under a microscope (morphology), but still have hidden genetic flaws that prevent implantation.
👉The Solution: Advanced Genetic testing🧬
To stop the cycle of unsuccessful attempts, it is crucial to select a genetically healthy embryo.🔬
❗Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT-A) is the only reliable way to ensure the best embryo is chosen for achieving a healthy pregnancy.
❗Our Advantage: iVF Riga is the only clinic in Latvia that performs both PGT-A and PGT-M testing on-site, in its own state-of-the-art genetics laboratory. This ensures maximum accuracy, control, and care at every stage.✨
