Hearing “negative” after an IVF cycle can shatter the strongest hearts. In Panchkula, where society still clings to timelines and taunts, failed IVF feels like a double blow. But here’s the truth: IVF failure is not the end. It’s just a pause. Many couples bounce back—and finally hold their miracle babies in their arms.
“Zindagi kabhi seedhi nahi hoti,
lekin har haar ke baad ek jeet zaroor hoti hai.”
Why IVF Fails (Even at Good Clinics)
It’s easy to blame fate, but IVF failure usually has medical or procedural reasons:
- Low egg quality (common after 35)
- Chromosomal issues in embryos
- Poor endometrial receptivity at time of transfer
- Sperm DNA fragmentation
- Undiagnosed infections or autoimmune issues
At Gulmohar IVF, Dr. Renu Lamba often says, “A failed cycle is feedback not failure.” The right strategy in the second attempt can make all the difference.
Case 1: Seema & Ravi – From PCOS to Pregnancy
Seema (34) from Sector 12 had PCOS and irregular cycles. Her first IVF cycle failed—only 1 embryo formed. She blamed herself and even considered quitting.
What Changed:
- Switched to mild stimulation protocol to avoid overstimulation
- Added myo-inositol + metformin for 3 months
- Started low-carb, high-protein IVF diet
In cycle two, 4 high-quality embryos developed. One was transferred—and today, she’s a mom to baby Aarav.
“Kya pata har delay mein ek nayi umeed chhupi ho.”
Case 2: Sunita & Ramesh – The Egg Quality Breakthrough
Sunita (39) from MDC had low AMH and borderline egg quality. After her first IVF failed, she was told to consider donor eggs. She wasn’t ready.
What Changed:
- CoQ10 + DHEA supplements for 3 months
- Embryo freezing strategy: Collected eggs over 2 cycles and pooled them
- PGT-A testing: Only 1 embryo was genetically normal
That one embryo became her miracle. She delivered twins (yes, it split naturally!) at 37 weeks via normal delivery.
Case 3: Aman & Neha – The Silent Male Factor
After 2 failed cycles, all focus was on Neha. But Dr. Renu suggested a deeper sperm DNA test for Aman. The result? High DNA fragmentation—despite a “normal” semen analysis.
What Changed:
- Switched to testicular sperm extraction (better DNA quality)
- Added antioxidants, zinc, and Vitamin C to Aman’s routine
- Time-lapse embryo monitoring selected the best embryo
Third time lucky? Yes. They’re now parents to a bubbly daughter who loves swinging in Shivalik Park.
“Kabhi kabhi success dikhayi nahi deti,
kyunki woh lab ke microscope ke neeche hoti hai.”
Lessons from All Three Stories
- IVF failure is common—but not final
- Changing protocols often improves outcomes
- Pre-treatment prep (diet, supplements, infection screening) is critical
- Male infertility is often missed—test beyond basic semen reports
How Gulmohar IVF Approaches Second Attempts
Dr. Renu Lamba follows a “Root Cause” review after every failed cycle:
- Detailed cycle analysis – how the body responded
- Endometrial health check – including ERA or hysteroscopy
- Embryo quality grading – with images shown to couples
- Advanced testing – for autoimmune issues or silent infections
Every failed cycle adds data. And data helps build a better plan for the next attempt.
Emotional Recovery After Failed IVF
The worst part isn’t the injections. It’s the silence after a negative result. At Gulmohar IVF, we offer:
- One-on-one counselling with trained psychologists
- “IVF Recovery Circles” for peer support
- Free second opinion review for outside cycle failures
“Tears are not a weakness.
They’re part of the journey.”
