What is Recurrent Implantation Failure?
Recurrent Implantation Failure (RIF) occurs when high-quality embryos fail to implant after multiple transfer attempts.
It’s typically defined as the absence of pregnancy after two or more embryo transfers with good-quality embryos.
Recurrent Implantation Failure can be emotionally challenging, but with the right evaluation and treatment, many patients go on to have successful pregnancies.

Why Does Recurrent Implantation Failure Happen?
Recurrent Implantation Failure can result from a variety of factors, including:
- Embryo-related issues – such as chromosomal abnormalities.
- Uterine factors – like thin endometrium, polyps, or structural abnormalities.
- Immune-related problems – immune rejection of the embryo.
- Blood clotting disorders – affecting blood flow to the implantation site.
- Unexplained causes – where no clear factor is identified.
How We Diagnose Recurrent Implantation Failure
Our diagnostic process may include:
- High-resolution ultrasound
- Hysteroscopy
- Genetic testing (PGT-A / PGT-M)
- Immune and blood clotting assessments
- Hormonal evaluation
Personalized Treatment Options
Based on your results, we may recommend:
- Correcting uterine abnormalities
- Enhancing endometrial receptivity
- Selecting chromosomally normal embryos
- Immunotherapy
- Adjusting transfer protocol (natural vs medicated cycle)
