You have made the IVF circuit- fertilisation, elongation of the cells, and implantation. It all seems to be going in the right direction, but the pregnancy is not becoming permanent. It is an enormously sad situation that causes most couples to wonder: Why did the embryo not implant? Or did my body reject the embryo?

 

At Femmenest, which is among the top fertility centres in Delhi, we are aware of the strain it can put on a person due to failed IVF attempts. We have one of the best IVF specialists in Delhi at the helm of affairs to explore all the avenues in order to clarify, comfort, and offer workable solutions to our patients.

What are the reasons for unsuccessful embryo implantation that are typical of medicine and biology?

Understanding Embryo Implantation

The process of implantation of the embryo depends on cryopreservation. Implantation is a complicated procedure during which a fertilised egg sticks to the mother's lining (endometrium). To have a successful pregnancy, three big conditions must be in place:

1. A properly developed embryo
2. Hospitable uterus lining
3. Appropriate immune and hormonal climate

When any one of these factors is either faulty, implantation might not occur, even despite having a good quality embryo.

1. Poor Embryo Quality

Occasionally, chromosomal anomaly (aneuploidy) can be missed in apparently normal embryos as seen under a microscope. Such embryos are not viable and commonly fail in the process of implantation or early miscarriage.

Solution:

We can also perform a Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT-A) to evaluate embryos and transfer those that are chromosomally normal, resulting in higher implantation success rates.

2. Uterine Lining Not Receptive

The inner edge of the uterus (endometrium) should be thick (7 to 12 mm), adequately vascularized, and endocrinologically ready to embrace an embryo.

Reasons for bad receptivity are:

• Thin endometrium
• Inverted low-grade infection (chronic endometritis)
• Fibroid or polyp
• Fibrosis (Asherman syndrome)

Solution:

• Endometrial scratch or PRP treatment
• Infectious antibiotic treatments
• Fibroid/polyp removal
• Estrogen and progesterone Hormone support

3. Immune System Dysfunction

In others, the embryo is recognised as a foreign invader by the immune system and is attacked by the immune system (mistakenly). Implantation can be disrupted by an elevated number of natural killer (NK) cells or by antiphospholipid antibodies.

• Immunological testing (e.g., NK cell activity, APA panel)
• Treatments like corticosteroids, low-dose aspirin, or IVIG (in specific cases) under expert guidance

At Femmenest, we have a keen evaluation of immune factors in patients who have undergone many failed IVF or recurrent pregnancy loss.

4. Hormonal Imbalance

Progesterone is essential in preparing the endometrium. When your body does not produce enough or when the supplements are not received at the right time, implantation will be affected.

Solution:

• Progesterone supplementation Timed
• Monitoring the hormone level during embryo transfer cycles
• Appropriate use of HRT or natural cycle IVF

5. Timing Mismatch (Implantation Window Issue)

A woman has a window of implantation in her uterus; that is, the days 19-21 of the cycle. The embryo might fail to implant even when it is healthy in case of early or late embryo transfer.

Solution:

• ERA (Endometrial Receptivity Array) test to personalise embryo transfer timing

6. Lifestyle and External Factors

Hormonal balance and the health of the uterus can be influenced by stress, smoking, sleep deprivation, diet and obesity, which in turn may affect implantation.

Solution:

• Pre-IVF life counselling
• Stress management and nutrition programmes
• Yoga, mind-body therapy and acupuncture help

How We Help at Femmenest

Femmenest, being one of the most renowned infertility clinics in Delhi, is capable of diagnosing and treating advanced causes of implantation failure. We have a personalised and science-based approach that is a combination of:

• Advanced embryo screening (PGT-A)
• Uterine health assessment (3D scans, hysteroscopy)
• Immune profiling when required
• ERA-directed embryo transfer
• Emotional support and psychological support

Our leading experts on IVF in Delhi are convinced that it is not only an embryo but the entire ecosystem that determines a successful pregnancy.

Final Thoughts

Implantation failure does not imply that there is something wrong with your body. It only means that we should research more and change the approach. Most women who have undergone unsuccessful IVF procedures have a successful pregnancy with the proper diagnosis and personalised care.
