What are the reasons for unsuccessful artificial insemination?

Under normal circumstances, couples hope to get pregnant naturally. However, due to various reasons, such as problems with either spouse, normal pregnancy will not occur. Fortunately, medical technology is very advanced now, and artificial insemination can be done. The so-called artificial insemination is to remove the sperm and eggs of both men and women, allow the sperm and eggs to conceive in vitro, and then place the fertilized egg into the female's uterus.

Reasons for failed artificial insemination

1. It’s a matter of luck. Pregnancy itself has a certain degree of randomness, and artificial insemination is also a way of pregnancy. Luck can affect the quality and quantity of fertilized eggs that doctors produce.

2. Physical factors of the man. The inability to have a child may be the responsibility of both husband and wife. The husband's sperm quality is poor and cannot enter the egg normally to form a healthy fertilized egg. Even if a fertilized egg is formed by luck, it will not be able to survive for long in future development.

3. Physical factors of the woman. As the mother of a child, the wife's physical health is very important. During artificial insemination, the health of the egg directly affects the formation of the fetus. During the pregnancy stage, if the woman's uterine condition is poor, the fertilized egg will not be able to develop normally.

In addition, there are some special cases, such as infertility due to immunological reasons, where both husband and wife are heterozygous for the same chromosomal dominant genetic disease or the male suffers from an autosomal dominant genetic disease, artificial insemination can also be used to achieve pregnancy and avoid the birth of unhealthy offspring.
