1 of 5
It has long been believed that the anatomical defects of the uterus can result in infertility. Though the presence of fibroids in the myometrium away from the endometrial cavity may not be able to cause infertility, there is an association between the presence of fibroids and infertility. If the polyps and fibroids are present within the endometrial cavity, then it reduces the chances of success of IVF. A vaginal pelvic ultrasound can offer information regarding the fibroids in the uterine cavity before IVF.
The absence of a healthy endometrial lining can reduce the chances of success of IVF.

A poor endometrial lining is commonly seen in women who suffer from recurrent IVF failures and miscarriages. This can be attributed to inflammation of the uterine lining, the presence of fibroids in the uterine wall and in women who have received clomiphene citrate. When you have a history of poor endometrial lining, possible factors of the causes must be evaluated and treated.

It is seen that if a woman has been pregnant before and have successfully carried the baby to term with or without any assisted reproductive technology, then the chances of being pregnant with IVF is much greater. On the other hand, if you have been suffering from recurrent miscarriages, then you are likely to have failed IVF. But it doesn t mean that you will have to rule out IVF automatically. Your doctor can help you in narrowing down the probable causes of loss of pregnancy and offer the best solution.

The age of reproduction casts an impact on the quality of eggs and the embryos and is negatively correlated with the IVF outcome. The reduction in the success rate of IVF or any other assisted fertility treatment is owing to the reduced number of eggs within the ovaries. It is seen that there is a fast loss of eggs and follicles after the age of 35 in women and the potential of fertility is also reduced significantly. You should undergo the tests required for determining the success rate of IVF.
Lifestyle factors are also important contributors to the success of IVF.
