What can I do after repeated IVF failure?

Repeated unsuccessful treatment calls for a careful review, not an automatic set of extra tests.

What you should know

Your clinician may review egg and embryo factors, sperm, the uterus, transfer details, and prior results. Some extra tests and treatments are costly and may not improve live birth. Ask what each option is meant to find and whether finding it would change treatment.

What to ask your care team

“Which new test or treatment has good evidence it will help me?”

One important reminder

Be wary of add-on treatments sold with strong claims but little proof.

Before your next visit

Write down your questions. Bring your medicine list and any test results you have. Ask for a plan in writing. If an answer is not clear, ask your team to explain it in a different way.
