Systematic review / meta-analysis · 12 studies
Library updated:
What was investigated and what was found?
The review found no significant evidence of improved live birth or other pregnancy outcomes before first IVF. This population should not be conflated with recurrent implantation failure.
Interpreting the findings
Patient groups, methods and bias risks can differ across studies. A pooled estimate is not a personal treatment recommendation or a guarantee of benefit.
How can you prepare for a consultation?
Review stimulation, fertilization, embryo and transfer reports from previous attempts together. Discuss repeat-cycle options and the rationale for any additional intervention with Prof. Dr. Mehmet Çolakoğlu.
