Why Fertilized Egg Does Not Implant?

The lining of the uterus is receptive to the embryo for only a brief time, called the Window of Implantation. It is possible that a perfectly normal embryo might not implant because the lining was not ready for it. In natural cycles, the window may be 4-5d wide, but in our treatments in can be only 12-48h long.

What causes a fertilized egg not to implant?

Implantation Failure

When an embryo doesn't implant or begins implantation but stops developing soon after (biochemical pregnancy), the most common cause is a chromosomal abnormality in the embryo itself (meaning it has too much or too little genetic material).

How often do fertilized eggs fail to implant?

Between one-third and one-half of all fertilized eggs never fully implant. A pregnancy is considered to be established only after implantation is complete.
