When to See a Fertility Specialist: Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore
April 22, 2025
In vitro fertilization (IVF) brings hope to millions of couples, but it’s not always successful on the first attempt. IVF failure can be emotionally and financially draining, especially when the reasons behind it are unclear. At Matrutva Fertility, we believe knowledge is power—and understanding why IVF might fail is the first step toward making it work.
In this article, Dr. Shikha Tandon shares the most common causes behind unsuccessful IVF cycles, based on her years of experience treating complex infertility cases:
1. Poor Embryo Quality
Even if fertilization occurs, the embryo must be genetically healthy to implant and grow. Poor-quality embryos are one of the most common reasons for IVF failure.
2. Implantation Issues
Sometimes the uterus is not receptive enough for the embryo to implant. Conditions like chronic endometritis, fibroids, or a thin endometrial lining can affect implantation success.
3. Underlying Health Conditions
Undiagnosed or uncontrolled health problems—such as thyroid disorders, PCOS, or autoimmune conditions—can disrupt hormonal balance and prevent successful pregnancy.
4. Sperm-Related Issues
Male infertility, including poor sperm motility or DNA fragmentation, can lead to failed fertilization or early embryo arrest.
How We Help You Succeed
At Matrutva Fertility, we go beyond standard protocols. Dr. Shikha Tandon uses a highly personalized approach—investigating root causes, customizing treatment plans, and offering advanced diagnostics such as ERA (Endometrial Receptivity Array), PGT (Preimplantation Genetic Testing), and sperm DNA fragmentation tests when needed.

Your journey doesn’t end with a failed IVF. With the right care, it can be the beginning of something beautiful.
