Unfortunately , we know that the pregnancy rate in an IVF
cycle can never be hundred percent, and that IVF success can never be
guaranteed.
This is true even when the IVF treatment cycle is done
perfectly in a good IVF clinic.
This is because even though we may be very good at
making top-quality embryos and transferring them into your uterus, we still
cannot control the process of embryo implantation .
This is still a
black box, and likely to remain so for many years, because it’s hard to
manipulate a microscopic living ball of cells after it has been transferring
into the uterus
Human reproduction is not efficient , and most embryos will
not become a baby, whether they are created in the bedroom , or in the IVF lab .
This is the reason why every fertile couple doesn’t get pregnant every time
they have sex !
The good news is there is a lot which you can do to
increase your success rate . From a patient's perspective , the most important
thing is to find a good doctor - a doctor who will transfer only top quality
blastocysts, and who gives photographs routinely and proactively to prove that
these are top quality blastocysts, rather than make a fool of you by calling
everything a top quality blastocyst, and then transferring in dead fragmented embryos
which don’t have a chance in hell of implanting.
Sadly, doctor will continue taking advantage of the
fact that you are ignorant and clueless , and that it's not compulsory to
provide you with photos , because there is no law which forces him to do so .
The other secret is to find a doctor who will do only
single embryo transfers, and freeze the spare
embryos, so that while you may or may not get pregnant in your first transfer ,
the chances of getting pregnant by your third cycle will increase dramatically ,
because the cumulative pregnancy rate over a number of cycles is extremely high
