Treating the "Most Challenging" IVF
Patients
(those who failed to become pregnant in two or more IVF attempts, before
therapy)
The following is a non-published study of our "most challenging" IVF
cases. Non-published studies are appropriate with smaller study groups.
This study had limited enrollment, since we only accepted patients who had
failed two or more IVF transfers, then came to us before attempting
another transfer. Although we were limited in the number of participants,
we included every patient we had who fit the criteria. The results of this
study were very promising and exciting.
Criteria for acceptance: we accepted only those patients who had:
1) failed to become pregnant with every IVF transfer they had ever
attempted, and
2) failed two or more prior IVF transfers.
Prior to therapy, in 22 IVF transfers, there was a 0% success rate. There
was not a single pregnancy in any of these women (0/22 = 0% success).
After therapy, these same women (who had failed so many prior attempts)
achieved a 71% clinical pregnancy rate and 57% reported live births.
Conclusions: Since 71.4% of these previously unsuccessful patients became
pregnant on their first post-treatment IVF, it appears that this
non-surgical, non-invasive manual soft-tissue therapy facilitates
fertility even in “worst case” patients. With no risks and few, if any,
complications or adverse effects, it should be considered as an adjunct to
current infertility treatments. |
