IVF is usually the last measure that a couple resort to for conceive a child, and a Failed IVF Cycle might be quite disappointing.
How does one bounce back when an IVF cycle fails? Everyone has their own ways in which they tend to cope with loss or disappointment.

It is important to find a mechanism that works for each one of us because there is no panacea to it.
Following are some of the various coping mechanisms that one could adopt depending on their preferences:
Cognitive Approach
It is important to remember that the success rate of an IVF depends on several factors both internal and external including the age of the couples, the quality of eggs and sperms, quality of physical health of the partners, lifestyle and even external environmental pollutants. It is therefore important to bear these factors in mind, even in case of a failure.
Additionally, if one is inquisitive about the cause of the failure, talking to an expert/ concerned gynecologist is the only solution that helps eliminate misconceptions. Such a follow-up meeting would also help in assessing the situation for further steps and methods to increase success rates for subsequent IVF cycles.
