What are the main causes that hinder embryo implantation in an ART cycle?

By Manuel Muñoz M.D., Ph.D. (gynecologist on Antonio Alcaide sperm freezing).
Last Update: 09/20/2011

There are several types of causes that can hinder the correct implantation of the embryo:

  1. Uterine problems. The presence of a uterine pathology can condition the implantation of the embryos. It is always a question of ruling out the existence of the same (polyps, myomas, intrauterine adhesions...) before carrying out a reproduction treatment.
  2. The intrinsic quality of the embryos transferred. Higher quality embryos are more likely to implant.
  3. Problems arising from the execution of assisted reproduction treatments. The clearest example is the significant elevation (more than 3000 pg/mL) of estradiol levels in the blood.
