One of the most frustrating problems in IVF today is
recurrent implantation failure. This is the medical terms used to describe the
distressingly common scenario when top quality embryos don't become babies ,
cycle after cycle.
This upsets patients as well as doctors !
Doctors are very hopeful and optimistic ( as are patients)
when we transfer a top quality blastocyst into a receptive endometrium, because
everything seems medically perfect.
However, then the embryos stubbornly refuse to implant, the
patient naturally gets upset , and starts wondering whether the doctor did something
wrong - or pressurise the doctor to do something new and different the next
time. Often, doctors are happy to accede to their requests, because they can
charge more for doing expensive new tests, which use the latest technology, but
are unproven and unreliable , because they have not stood the test of time.
Patients need to remember that implantation is still a
biological black box , and that failed implantation in fact is the norm as far
as human reproduction is concerned !
Don't forget that every cycle a fertile couple has sex and
doesn't get pregnant, this means that the embryo has failed to implant ! (
After all, if they are fertile, this means the sperm must be fertilising the egg in the
fallopian tube, and an embryo must be being formed. However, this embryo
doesn't become a baby, because human
reproduction is very inefficient. Most embryos have genetic
abnormalities - whether are formed in vitro or in vivo , and this is why they
don't implant .
Once you understand how common embryo implantation failure
is in vivo ( in the bedroom) , you'll understand why it's so common in vitro as
well.
