For many couples, deciding to pursue in vitro fertilization treatment is both a hopeful and deeply emotional step. It represents a chance to move closer to parenthood after months or years of waiting. But what happens if conventional IVF does not lead to the desired outcome? The truth is, fertility science has progressed far beyond the early days of IVF. Today, advanced IVF treatment options are offering renewed possibilities to those who have faced unsuccessful cycles or challenges with traditional methods. At Milann, our focus is not just on medical success rates but also on guiding couples with compassion and clarity as they navigate these
decisions.
Why Conventional IVF May Not Be Enough
Conventional IVF has helped millions, but it does not always work for every couple. Factors such as poor sperm quality, age-related egg decline, recurrent implantation failure, or unexplained infertility can affect success. When couples face these challenges with in vitro fertilization treatment, they often ask: why does IVF sometimes fail, and what can be done next?
This is where advanced techniques come into the picture, offering higher precision, improved embryo selection, and more personalised solutions.
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)
One of the most significant advancements in in vitro fertilization treatment is
ICSI, where a single healthy sperm is directly injected into an egg. This technique has been transformative for couples dealing with male infertility, such as low sperm count or poor motility. ICSI dramatically increases the chances of fertilization and reduces the uncertainty that often accompanies unsuccessful IVF cycles.
As Kavya D Sharma, a fertility specialist, explains:
“ICSI allows us to bypass barriers that nature sometimes places. For couples with severe male factor infertility, it can make the difference between another failed attempt and a healthy pregnancy.”
Donor Egg and Sperm Programs
For couples facing age-related infertility, poor ovarian reserve, or genetic concerns,
donor egg and sperm programs offer a path forward. While emotionally complex, these programs have brought countless families into being when other avenues seemed closed. Stories of overcoming in vitro fertilization treatment often include the courage to consider alternatives like donor gametes, which can significantly improve outcomes when conventional cycles have failed. At Milann, such programs are handled with the utmost sensitivity, ensuring that couples feel supported every step of the way.
Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT)
Another breakthrough in advanced IVF care is
preimplantation genetic testing (PGT). This technology screens embryos for chromosomal or genetic abnormalities before transfer, increasing the chances of a healthy pregnancy and reducing the risk of miscarriage. For couples who have faced multiple failed attempts or recurrent pregnancy loss, PGT provides answers to the painful question of what to do after unsuccessful IVF cycles. It not only improves the likelihood of success but also gives patients peace of mind, knowing that only the healthiest embryos are selected.
