The most frustrating moment in infertility today is IVF failure - and in most of the cases due to implantation failure. This refers to infertile patients who have undergone many IVF cycles and produced beautiful embryos - but the embryos have consistently failed to implant for unexplained reasons.
But that should not stop you for further
treatment of IVF. In India our pregnancy rates in patients who
have failed IVF cycles elsewhere is very high, because we can
transfer more embryos in difficult patients ( unlike clinics in
UK and Australia, where the number of embryos which can be
transferred is limited by law).
Patient who often do poorly in other IVF clinics
are those who have PCOD. Because many doctors are so worried
about the danger of OHSS ( ovarian hyperstimulation) in these
patients, they often end up super ovulating these patients badly,
and retrieve few poor quality eggs, compromising the pregnancy
rate. We prevent OHSS by carefully aspirating each and every
follicle at the time of egg retrieval , and flushing it
repeatedly with a double-lumen needle, until it collapses
completely. By removing the follicular cells which are
responsible for producing VEGF and causing OHSS, we have been
able to prevent OHSS in PCOD patients very successfully in our
clinic by using this novel technique.
Other options could be:
