How many IVFs can be done before abandoning assisted reproductive treatments?

Although it is true that there is no legal limitation on the number of IVF attempts, the expected success rate should be taken into account according to the particular situation of each case, in order to avoid treatments with little guarantee of success.

The most widespread recommendation is to perform 3-4 IVF cycles. However, in the case of not having been successful in this number of attempts, the woman or couple could resort to gamete or embryo donation before abandoning assisted reproduction treatments, if the woman or couple wishes to do so.
