Repeated Implantation Failure (RIF)
Repeated Implantation Failure occurs when good-quality embryos fail to implant in the uterus after multiple IVF cycles. It can be emotionally and physically challenging for couples, but with advanced diagnostics and personalized treatment, the underlying causes can often be identified and managed effectively.
Causes of RIF
- Poor embryo quality (chromosomal abnormalities)
- Uterine abnormalities (polyps, fibroids, adhesions, septum)
- Thin or non-receptive endometrium
- Immune or clotting disorders
- Lifestyle factors and advanced maternal age
When to Suspect RIF
- Failure of implantation despite transfer of good-quality embryos
- History of multiple failed IVF cycles (typically 2 or more)
- No other obvious reason for infertility
Diagnosis
Investigations may include:
- Advanced embryo assessment (PGT – Preimplantation Genetic Testing)
- Hysteroscopy to check uterine cavity
- Endometrial receptivity analysis (ERA test)
- Immune & blood clotting tests
