Nondisjunction isn’t the only reason your embryo transfer didn’t work.
It’s just one piece of a much bigger puzzle.
Here are 5 often-overlooked reasons for failed transfers:
1️⃣ DNA damage in egg or s***m from oxidative stress
2️⃣ Mitochondrial dysfunction — poor energy = poor embryo viability
3️⃣ Epigenetic errors — gene expression gone wrong
4️⃣ Maternal metabolic dysfunction — inflammation, blood sugar, and more
5️⃣ Poor uterine receptivity — even the best embryo needs the right environment
This is also why donor embryos or even mitochondrial transfers can still fail—
Even when the odds “should” be better.
Because most couples haven’t done the work to prepare their bodies.
🧬 Conception is not plug-and-play.
It’s energy-intensive. It’s complex.
And both partners need to be fully optimized.
Think of it like training for a marathon—
You wouldn’t show up on race day without preparing.
Same goes for baby-making.
