What happens in a woman’s body after a failed IVF?

The body’s reaction to failed in vitro fertilization varies, and depends on the individual characteristics of the woman. After IVF, which ended in failure, patients may be disturbed by:

  • abundant menstruation;
  • delayed regular periods;
  • soreness in the breasts;
  • deterioration of the endometrium.

One of the widespread phenomena is heavy menstruation after unsuccessful IVF. During this period, your periods may be rather painful, with blood clots. Often they last longer than usual (sometimes up to 10 days). Such a condition is not an indication of serious problems, but requires a visit to a specialist. It is also worth seeing a doctor if you have scanty menstrual discharge. In such a case, there may be hormonal disorders or abnormalities of the endometrium.

Patients who didn’t get the expected result need to know when their period starts after failed IVF. Generally, the restoration of the cycle occurs in a timely manner. If there is a delay in the cycle after unsuccessful IVF, you will need to undergo a medical examination. Such a condition may be caused by individual characteristics of female organism, or provoked by some disease. It is also necessary to consult a doctor, if bloody discharge appeared within several first days after IVF. In some cases, it indicates termination of an unwanted pregnancy or occurrence of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHS).

Patients with sore breasts after an unsuccessful attempt at in vitro fertilization should not immediately assume the presence of pathology. Sometimes this phenomenon is considered a variant of normal (in such a way the body reacts to the hormonal changes that have taken place). If painful sensations do not disappear after the restoration of the cycle, it will be necessary to visit a doctor.

Another possible problem is a thin endometrium after an IVF failure. This disorder occurs against the background of increased stimulation by hormonal drugs, as well as incomplete work of the ovaries.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RECOVER?

It takes 60 to 90 days to fully recover from a failed IVF treatment. During this period, the organism, which has undergone stress and hormonal load, undergoes complete recovery. Within 2-3 months, ovarian function normalizes, immune system strengthens, and emotional background balances.
