Implantation Failure Testing London – Genetic & Fertility Analysis (RIF)
Understand why embryos fail to implant with advanced genetic and immune testing. Private, expert-led fertility investigations in Central London.
Implantation Failure Genetic Testing (RIF)
Implantation failure can be one of the most frustrating parts of fertility treatment. Even when embryos appear healthy, implantation may still not occur.
At Marylebone Diagnostic Centre, RIF testing combines genetic analysis, immune profiling, and fertility diagnostics to identify why implantation is failing and how success rates can be improved.
What Is Implantation Failure (RIF)?
Recurrent Implantation Failure is typically defined as failure to achieve pregnancy after multiple IVF embryo transfers. Identifying the cause allows targeted treatment and improved outcomes.
Common contributing factors include:
- Chromosomal abnormalities in embryos
- Endometrial or uterine lining issues
- Immune system dysfunction
- Genetic incompatibility
- Male factor DNA damage
What Does RIF Testing Include?
Our RIF investigation is tailored and may include:
- Endometrial receptivity assessment
- Microbiome analysis
- Cytokine profile
- Natural killer (NK) cell testing
- Immune response markers
Who Should Take This Test?
- Multiple failed IVF cycles
- High-quality embryos failing to implant
- Unexplained infertility
- Recurrent miscarriage
- Couples seeking advanced fertility insight
If you have experienced pregnancy loss, also consider recurrent miscarriage testing (RPL).
How RIF Testing Helps
- Identifies hidden causes of IVF failure
- Improves embryo selection strategies
- Optimises the uterine environment
- Reduces repeated failed cycles
- Supports personalised fertility treatment
Why Implantation Fails
Implantation failure can occur due to:
- Abnormal embryo chromosomes
- Poor uterine receptivity
- Immune rejection of the embryo
- Hormonal imbalance
- Sperm DNA damage

FAQs
Implantation failure occurs when embryos do not successfully attach to the uterine lining after IVF treatment.
Even high-quality embryos may fail due to chromosomal abnormalities, immune factors, or uterine issues.
Yes. Genetic testing helps identify the healthiest embryos and underlying fertility issues.
If you have experienced multiple failed cycles, RIF testing can provide valuable insights into the cause.
Results typically take between 12 and 33 days depending on the tests performed.
