How to improve your chance of IVF success!

IVF does not come with a 100% guarantee, but there are steps that you can take to improve your chances of conception and carrying a healthy baby to term.

One of these steps is testing. This is an option for those who have experienced previous IVF failure, as well as those who are new to IVF or have had successful IVF in the past, but want to increase their chances of success.

Four common tests that we offer at the Fertility & Gynaecology Academy are:
- Immune testing
- Infection screening
- Assessment of the uterine cavity
- Karyotyping

These tests provide greater insight into your fertility, and help you take the right steps when moving forward with treatment.

When it comes to boosting your fertility, taking a holistic view can help you make positive changes that can contribute to a better chance of conception.

These changes contribute to better overall health and wellbeing, which in turn can influence your fertility. There is no single lifestyle change that can be guaranteed to boost your chances of getting pregnant.

To help you make these changes, we've put together a practical guide: https://www.fertility-academy.co.uk/blog/lifestyle-changes-to-optimise-your-fertility/

Why are you at a higher risk of recurrent miscarriage as you age?

Recurrent miscarriage is defined as having two or more consecutive pregnancy losses. It can occur at any age, but there are a number of factors which put you at a higher risk as you become older.

While the impact of maternal age is more pronounced, advancing paternal age can also contribute to recurrent miscarriage due to a decline in s***m quality and increased DNA fragmentation.

As specialists in recurrent miscarriage, we offer testing that can get to the root cause of the issue, and treatments to move forward with your fertility journey.
