The journey to parenthood is deeply personal, for many couples, achieving natural conception is a pretty important goal. But decoding the fertility cycle is pretty important. This blog will share the secrets of cycle, and empowers to understand fertility windows and helps in achieving natural conception.

Understanding the Menstrual Cycle:

The foundation of fertility is the menstrual cycle. It’s a well adapted hormonal balance that typically lasts for  28-35 days, and there may be some variations too. Lets understand the key phrases:

You completed an In vitro fertilisation (IVF) cycle with high hopes. However, a negative result can devastate you. Don’t worry, It’s not the end. Consider it to be the beginning of the next chapter.

IVF is a complex process that involves multiple steps, each with the potential to impact success rates. Even with the presence of high-quality embryos, many couples face the disappointment of failed IVF cycles.

In this blog post, we will cover the various factors that can contribute to IVF failure and why IVF fails despite the good embryos being selected.

Embryo Quality:

Although having good embryos is essential, it’s important to note that even the best embryos have differing implantation potential. The evaluation of segregating varying degrees of embryo is a complex process (also known as embryo grading). Further, the true potential of an embryo may not always be accurately assessed.

In vitro fertilisation (IVF) offers hope to many couples struggling with infertility. However, even with high-quality embryos, not all IVF cycles result in a successful pregnancy.

Out of the several other factors determining the success of IVF, the womb of the women i.e. the uterine environment and maternal health play critical roles. Understanding these factors can help couples and healthcare providers navigate the challenges of IVF failure and plan for future attempts.

How the Uterine Environment Favors Pregnancy

The uterine environment must be optimal for an embryo to implant and develop into a healthy pregnancy. Several factors contribute to a favourable uterine environment:

Understanding the Menstrual Cycle:

The foundation of fertility is the menstrual cycle. It’s a well adapted hormonal balance that typically lasts for 28-35 days, and there may be some variations too. Lets understand the key phrases:

• Follicular Phase (Days 1-14): This typically begins on the first day of the period and ends with ovulation. Lining of uterus sheds during this time. Each follicle contains an egg which is developed by Follicle Stimulating Hormone in ovaries.
• Ovulation (Day 14-16): The most fertile time in the cycle will last for 12-24 hours. Most mature eggs from a dominant follicle will be released due to the trigger of Luteinizing Hormone.
• Luteal Phase (Days 15-28): After ovulation, the empty follicle transforms into the corpus luteum, which produces progesterone. Progesterone prepares the lining of your uterus for implantation if fertilization occurs. If pregnancy doesn’t happen, the corpus luteum degenerates, leading to a drop in progesterone, which triggers your period and the cycle begins again.
