Dr. Geoffrey Sher answered
This sounds like an implantation dysfunction. Implantation dysfunction is often overlooked as a significant reason for IVF failure.

Dr. Geoffrey Sher answered
The fact that the embryo transferred was euploid does not guarantee that it is was normal. There are genetic and metabolic factors that also can play a role. As for the low yield of "competent embryos, that likely has to do with the protocol used for ovarian stimulation.…

Adenomyosis is a condition where endometrial glands develop outside the uterine lining (endometrium), within the muscular wall of the uterus (myometrium). Definitive diagnosis of adenomyosis is difficult to make. The condition should be suspected when a premenopausal woman (usually>25 years of age) presents with pelvic pain, heavy painful…
