What could be causing IVF failure?

Despite the advancements in reproductive science, success is not always guaranteed with IVF. Statistics still show success rates for IVF at just above 50%. So what is happening with the 50% that are failing? There are many contributing causes but one significant contributor is embryo implantation failure due to complications in the womb lining, often linked to inflammation usually associated with endometriosis. Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus.

Endometriosis for almost half the women failing IVF  is asymptomatic, also known as “silent endometriosis”, making it difficult to initially diagnose. When an embryo can’t attach to the uterine lining, the incompatibility can be caused by other issues like physical irregularities, thin lining, infections, and even polyps.

The ReceptivaDx™ test was created to help those on their fertility journey gain new hope as they grapple with unexplained infertility. The cutting-edge test is focused exclusively on endometrial lining issues. What sets ReceptivaDx™ apart is its ability to identify the multiple leading causes of infertility in a single sample.

How does the ReceptivaDx™ test work?

Central to the ReceptivaDx™ test is BCL6, a remarkable marker that zeroes in on uterine lining inflammation that is often linked to silent endometriosis. Research shows that BCL6 is present in more than 50% of women with unexplained infertility and a staggering 65% of women who’ve faced two or more IVF failures. That’s why testing is so important as you begin a new IVF journey. ReceptivaDx™ is your lifeline to understanding what is going on inside of your body to make better and more informed decisions about your next steps. 

ReceptivaDx™ doesn’t just pinpoint endometriosis. It can also uncover progesterone resistance—an often undiscussed major roadblock that can elude typical fertility tests. Progesterone resistance occurs when your body’s response to the crucial progesterone hormone necessary for pregnancy is blocked or diminishes. It then disrupts the uterine environment that you need for successful embryo implantation and maintaining a successful pregnancy. ReceptivaDx™ also helps detect endometritis, a common bacterial infection that can be cause IVF failure. Treatment options for all these causes are available to your doctor.
