Management of Recurrent Implantation Failure

There is growing evidence that elective frozen-thawed embryo transfer in a non-stimulated cycle (freeze-all policy) would eliminate the risk of controlled ovarian stimulation and resulting in better endometrial receptivity and lower uterine contractility as compared with fresh intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles. RIF refers to women who fail to achieve a clinical pregnancy, in a minimum of three embryo transfer cycles with at least four good-quality embryos were transferred in a woman \< 40 years. It affects approximately 10% of ICSI cases. Many management protocols aimed to enhance ICSI outcome in cases of RIF, however, none of them examined the effect of freeze all policy in this category of patients.
