DEAR ZAK
One seriously needs to entertain the possibility of embryo related problems and current literature is strongly suggestive of embryo abnormalities as a cause of recurrent failed IVF cycles. Although there is no immediate solution to the problem, it may be necessary in future to have the embryos tested by means of PGD (pregenetic diagnosis).
