Rest and Heal: After a failed Ivf cycle, a woman should rest and resist the temptation to worry over all the ways she could have prevented it. Maintain a healthy emotional state and consider that natural pregnancies are as rare as IVF pregnancies. Infertile women and couples may also want to avoid getting into situations where they will have to hear about someone else’s pregnancy news at this time. So, take some time away from other and just focus on staying emotionally healthy.

Begin Another Cycle: Some women choose to begin another cycle of Ivf immediately after a failed attempt. Studies show that second and third attempts in Ivf lead to a greater overall chance of success. Because of this, many fertility clinics offer payment programs that include subsequent rounds. Therefore, in these situations, fertility clinics may have already scheduled the second and third attempts for Ivf. It is not that they are anticipating failure; they are simply preparing for it just in case.

Attend a review of the previous cycle: Repeated attempts do not benefit everyone. Sometimes, trying again will not change the outcome, and in these cases, continued attempts simply increase cost without increasing chances of success. Fertility doctors evaluate the cause of failure for each Ivf attempt. In certain cases, the specialist may suggest another fertility treatment option or, he or she may suggest a medical treatment for the women or her partner, to increase odds of success. The best thing to do is remain open to a variety of options.
