Abstract

Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) refers to the situation where couples facing infertility undergo multiple IVF-ET cycles and transfer multiple high-quality embryos, yet are unable to achieve embryo implantation or clinical pregnancy. The causes of RIF are multifaceted and can be influenced by many factors that may impact the outcome of IVF-ET assisted pregnancy. Despite this, there is ongoing debate regarding the definition of RIF, as well as the screening, diagnosis, and treatment approaches. This confusion largely stems from differences between current domestic and foreign guidelines and consensus. In order to provide clarity on this issue, this article aims to offer reference opinions on the standardized clinical diagnosis and treatment of RIF, based on recent research progress as well as both domestic and foreign guidelines and consensus.
