Recurrent Implantation Failure (RIF)

Recurrent implantation failure refers to the inability of embryos to implant into uterine lining after repeated attempts at ART like IVF. Despite transferring healthy embryos, they fail to attach to the uterus and initiate a pregnancy.

Who can get recurrent implantation failure?

RIF can affect individuals or couples undergoing ART , partially IVF , it can occur in cases where the underlying cause remains unidentified.

Types of RIF:-

Early RIF : In this , embryo fail to implant shortly after being transferred into the uterus.

Late RIF:– In this type , when the embryos implant initially but result in early miscarriage or failed development soon after implantation.

Causes of RIF:-

Embryo related factors: Chromosomal Abnormalities (poor embryo quality).
Urine Factors: urine abnormalities or structural tissues – endometrial receptivity tissues , chronic endometriosis or infections.

Hormonal factors: Hormonal imbalances affecting the menstrual cycle-thyroid disorders or diabetes.

Lifestyle and environmental factors: Smoking or substance abuse –poor diet and nutrition – stress and excessive physical activity.

What are the symptoms of RIF?

The symptoms of RIF can vary from person to person

Treatment for RIF

Improving Embryo Quality:

Optimizing the quality of embryos through advanced laboratory techniques.

Endometrial Receptivity Analysis:

Assessing the best time for embryo transfer based on the women menstrual cycle and hormonal profile.

Uterine preparation:

Administering hormonal medications to prepare the uterine lining for better embryo implantation.

Lifestyle changes:

Adopting a healthy lifestyle changes, including balanced diet , regular exercise and stress management.

CONCLUSION:

Recurrent implantation failure is a complex and challenging condition that affects individuals and couples seeking to expand their families through ART. Understanding the various causes, symptoms, diagnosis & treatment options is crucial in effectively
