What is the process and cost of egg freezing?
The journey to pregnancy can sometimes be filled with challenges. Each experience of implantation failure or biochemical pregnancy is an unforgettable moment for prospective parents psychologically. However, in the face of these situations, we should not be overly depressed or self-blaming. Instead, understanding the medical principles behind these phenomena and learning from the experiences is the more important first step. Today, we will delve into the differences between “implantation failure” and “biochemical pregnancy,” as well as their impact on women preparing for pregnancy.
Implantation failure refers to the inability of the embryo to successfully implant in the endometrium after the fertilized egg has formed. This means that although the embryo has developed and entered the uterus, it has failed to establish a close connection with the endometrium for various reasons. Implantation failure typically does not present obvious physical symptoms, and many women may not even be aware of its occurrence, only perceiving it as the normal arrival of menstruation.
The causes of implantation failure are diverse. The most common include abnormalities in the uterine environment (such as fibroids or thin endometrium), embryo quality issues, external environmental factors (such as stress, diet, etc.), and some underlying diseases (such as immune problems, endocrine disorders, etc.). Because the causes are complex and varied, comprehensive physical examinations are particularly important before undergoing IVF or egg freezing. Understanding one's physical condition, especially the health of the uterus and ovaries, can provide a scientific basis for subsequent assisted reproductive technologies, increasing the chances of success.
In contrast to implantation failure, biochemical pregnancy refers to a situation where the embryo has partially completed implantation but pregnancy cannot continue for certain reasons. At this time, the woman’s β-HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) level will temporarily rise, indicating that pregnancy has begun, but the connection between the embryo and the endometrium is unstable, ultimately leading to the embryo's inability to develop into a fetus. Biochemical pregnancy is often considered an early miscarriage because it occurs too early to confirm the presence of a gestational sac through ultrasound.
The causes of biochemical pregnancy are similar to those of implantation failure. Common reasons include chromosomal abnormalities of the embryo, poor uterine environment, insufficient luteal function, etc. A significant factor is the woman's age; as age increases, the probability of chromosomally abnormal embryos rises.
Dr. Nathan Zhang, the founder of IVF USA, has conducted a profound analysis of the relationship between a woman’s age and implantation failure as well as biochemical pregnancy. Dr. Zhang points out that a woman's age is an important factor determining embryo health. With increasing age, the rate of chromosomal abnormalities in embryos rises sharply. Women over 35 have a significantly increased risk of implantation failure and biochemical pregnancy, and by the age of 42, the likelihood of chromosomal abnormalities in embryos exceeds 80%.
