The IVF Mistake That Causes Failed Cycles to Keep Repeating

The IVF Mistake That Causes Failed Cycles to Keep Repeating

If you're heading into another IVF cycle after a failed transfer, you're probably being told to trust the process and try again.

But what if the process is the problem?

In this episode, we get into how to tell whether your next cycle is actually different — or whether you're about to repeat the same outcome with a new protocol number.

In this episode you'll learn:

  • The three signs your last cycle wasn't fully interpreted, just failed
  • Why changing the protocol doesn't always change the outcome
  • What "unexplained" actually means and why it's often a gap, not a diagnosis
  • How time pressure pushes couples into decisions that don't serve them
  • The specific questions to ask before you commit to another cycle

I'm Sarah Clark, founder of Fab Fertile and host of Get Pregnant Naturally, a podcast with over 1 million downloads. My team works with couples navigating low AMH and failed IVF, reviewing functional lab results including gut microbiome, food sensitivity, vaginal microbiome, nutrigenomics, HTMA, DUTCH, toxin testing, and bloodwork, alongside nervous system work, to help identify patterns that may not have been considered. We work alongside your medical team, not instead of them.
