What Should I Do After Multiple IVF Failures Repeated Implantation Failure Do Not Give Up Now

Hello, this is Dalimchae Korean Medicine Clinic. # What should I do after multiple IVF failures? Repeated implantation failure, do not give up now. Faced with failure after failure following embryo transfer, the frustration is indescribable. Sleepless nights filled with thoughts like "I thought it would work this time..." or "Why does this happen only to me?" are all too familiar. Repeated implantation failure, where multiple IVF cycles fail, takes a heavy toll both physically and mentally. Dalimchae Korean Medicine Clinic Incheon Branch wants to share a message of hope with everyone facing these challenges. 💡 **[Core Answer]** Top 3 causes of "What should I do after multiple IVF failures?": ① Uterine endometrial environment issues / ② Poor egg and sperm quality / ③ Body exhaustion from repeated procedures. Dalimchae Korean Medicine Clinic helps successful implantation and healthy pregnancy by enhancing the body's fundamental recovery capacity through constitutional improvement. ## Why do IVF cycles keep failing? Hidden causes of repeated implantation failure Repeated implantation failure (RIF) refers to cases where pregnancy is not achieved despite 3 or more IVF cycles. Rather than dismissing it as bad luck, it is crucial to closely examine our internal body environment. Many prepare for the next cycle without clearly understanding why IVF failed, but accurately identifying and improving the causes is the key to increasing success rates. The most representative cause is reduced uterine endometrial receptivity. Even if the thickness and shape of the endometrium appear normal, if the microenvironment optimized for embryo implantation is not established, it leads to implantation failure. Additionally, poor egg and sperm quality is a critical factor. As age increases, egg quality declines, or male factors cause poor sperm quality, increasing the chromosomal abnormality rate of the embryo itself, making implantation difficult. Furthermore, immunological issues, hormone imbalances, blood circulation disorders, and stress and autonomic nervous system imbalance from repeated procedures act complexly to cause repeated implantation failure. ## Can Oriental medicine treatment truly help with repeated implantation failure? Recent studies highlight the potential of Oriental medicine treatment as a complementary therapy to increase IVF success rates. In particular, reports continue to emerge regarding its positive effects on improving the uterine endometrial environment, enhancing egg and sperm quality, and relieving stress. A 2021 retrospective analysis evaluated the impact of acupuncture on patients with repeated implantation failure (RIF). Based on data from 2018 to 2021, patients undergoing frozen-thawed embryo transfer (CET) who combined acupuncture showed significant improvements in live birth rate (LBR) and ongoing pregnancy rate (OPR) compared to the control group. Specifically, the live birth rate in the acupuncture group was 54.5%, higher than 41.0% in the control group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that acupuncture positively affected the live birth rate (adjusted OR = 1.105, 95% CI [1.029, 1.187], p=0.006) and ongoing pregnancy rate (adjusted OR = 1.100, 95% CI [1.025, 1.181], p=0.008). The researchers concluded that acupuncture is a potential complementary therapy that can improve pregnancy outcomes in patients with RIF. Additionally, a systematic review and meta-analysis synthesized studies up to March 2023, stating that East Asian Traditional Medicine (EATM), particularly acupuncture and herbal medicine, can contribute to increasing the pregnancy success rate of assisted reproductive technology (ART). According to this study, the EATM combined group showed a clinical pregnancy rate (CPR) 1.316 times higher (95% CI 1.171-1.480) and a live birth rate (LBR) 1.287 times increased (95% CI 1.081-1.533) compared to the control group. The researchers suggested that EATM can be a safe and effective complementary therapy for ART treatment. Based on these data, Dalimchae Korean Medicine Clinic Incheon Branch focuses on fundamentally restoring the bodies of those exhausted by repeated IVF failures, creating the optimal state for a successful pregnancy. ## Dalimchae Korean Medicine Clinic's 'Constitutional Improvement' to rebuild the body Dalimchae Korean Medicine Clinic finds the core cause of repeated implantation failure in our body's 'constitutional imbalance' and 'decreased recovery capacity'. Rather than merely suppressing symptoms, we aim to build a body that never struggles again in the pregnancy preparation process through 'constitutional improvement' treatment that increases the body's own power to maintain a healthy pregnancy. Our body is an interconnected system, and systemic balance, rather than just a specific organ's problem, is decisive for pregnancy. Dalimchae Korean Medicine Clinic aids constitutional improvement through the following principles: * Uterine environment optimization: Removing waste products in the uterus such as blood stasis and damp-phlegm and improving blood circulation to create a clean and robust endometrial environment favorable for embryo implantation. This increases blood flow to the uterus to improve endometrial quality. * Ovarian function and egg quality enhancement: Prescribing herbal medicine tailored to individual constitution and ovarian function status to strengthen ovarian function and increase egg quality. This helps normalize ovulation and generate healthy eggs. * Hormone balance regulation: Restoring the balance of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis disrupted by stress and overwork, normalizing hormone secretion, and supporting stable implantation and pregnancy maintenance. * Immunity strengthening and stress management: Enhancing immunity and restoring autonomic nervous system balance to support psychological stability and physical recovery from repeated procedures and failures. This lowers stress hormone levels to create a physical environment favorable for pregnancy. This constitutional improvement is like rebuilding the body so it functions properly again, rather than just masking symptoms. This is the treatment philosophy pursued by Dalimchae Korean Medicine Clinic as an Incheon infertility Korean medicine clinic, opening new possibilities for those struggling with infertility. We also provide integrated approaches to help recover health for those suffering from other uterine diseases such as menstrual pain or uterine fibroids. ## Repeated Implantation Failure Checklist If you check 3 or more of the following items, you have a high risk of repeated implantation failure due to broken body balance: * ( ) Experienced 3 or more IVF failures. * ( ) Diagnosed with thin or irregular endometrium thickness. * ( ) Evaluated as having poor egg or sperm quality. * ( ) Irregular menstrual cycles or severe menstrual pain. * ( ) Hands/feet or lower abdomen feel cold. * ( ) Suffering from extreme stress or anxiety. * ( ) Accompanied by chronic fatigue and lethargy. * ( ) Frequent digestive issues such as irritable bowel syndrome. * ( ) Frequent minor illnesses due to lowered immunity. -> 3 or more: High probability of body imbalance causing RIF.
