Why high-quality embryos sometimes fail to implant
About this episode
Double board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist and reproductive endocrinology and infertility specialist Erica Bove discusses her article, "Why do high-quality IVF embryos fail." Erica explores the heartbreaking reality of recurrent implantation failure, challenging the assumption that it is a rare phenomenon. She analyzes the physical factors often missed in standard studies, such as chronic endometritis, silent endometriosis, and adenomyosis, while explaining why the endometrial receptivity analysis is losing favor in the field. The conversation also highlights a critical, often overlooked variable: the role of stress and mental health in fertility outcomes. Erica advocates for a holistic approach that combines rigorous medical guidelines with emotional support to help patients navigate the complex journey of IVF. Learn what to do when the science says it should work but the result is still negative.
