When IVF has failed before, the next cycle has to be different.

25+ years treating the cases other clinics couldn’t solve — diagnostic depth, individualized protocols, and a team that travels with you through every step, wherever you’re coming from.

Physician consultation
  • Specialists in recurrent IVF failure
  • Advanced genetic + immunologic diagnostics
  • Patients from 30+ countries
  • Board-certified REI, 25+ years

If you’ve been through this before, you already know: not all IVF is the same.

You’ve likely heard “let’s try another cycle.” You’ve had protocols adjusted slightly. You’ve been told “it’s just bad luck” or “unexplained.”

That’s not what we do here.

When patients come to AFCT after failed cycles elsewhere, we start by understanding why the previous attempts didn’t work — through advanced diagnostic workups most clinics don’t run as standard: ERA / receptivity testing, immunologic panels, sperm DNA fragmentation, karyotyping, and detailed embryo assessment review.

Then we build a protocol for your biology — not the clinic’s default.

Standard IVF approach

  • Baseline hormone panel
  • Generic protocol
  • “Try another cycle”

AFCT advanced diagnostic approach

  • ERA + receptivity testing
  • Immunologic + thrombophilia panel
  • Sperm DNA fragmentation
  • Genetic workup before cycle design

We specialize in the cases most clinics call ‘complex.’

Recurrent IVF Failure

Two or more failed transfers with good-quality embryos.

Recurrent Pregnancy Loss

Two or more miscarriages after conception.

Diminished Ovarian Reserve / Low AMH

Including poor responders and advanced maternal age.

Unexplained Infertility

When prior workups have found "nothing" — we look deeper.

Male Factor & Severe Male Infertility

Including DNA fragmentation, azoospermia, PRP applications.

International & Second-Opinion Cases

Full remote consultation and treatment coordination.

Most IVF failures aren’t random. They’re diagnosable.

We run the workup first — then design the cycle. Here’s what that looks like.

Endometrial Receptivity (ERA / EMMA / ALICE)

Identifying the exact window when the uterus is ready to accept an embryo — different for every patient.

Immunologic & Thrombophilia Screening

NK cell activity, autoimmune markers, clotting disorders that quietly cause implantation failure.

Advanced Embryo Assessment & PGT-A / PGT-M

Genetic testing that reduces transfer of non-viable embryos.

Male Factor Deep Diagnostics

Sperm DNA fragmentation, oxidative stress, and PRP protocols — male factor accounts for ~50% of cases but is under-investigated at most clinics.

Traveling to Houston for treatment? We’ve built the process around you.

Protocol designed before you arrive.

STEP 3

Coordinated In-Person Visit

Concierge support for hotel, transport, local logistics. Compressed monitoring where medically possible.

STEP 4

Remote Follow-Up

The home OB/GYN stays in the loop. We don't disappear after transfer.

Patients who came to us after ‘no’ — and left with ‘yes.’

Situation: 5 failed IVF cycles at two other clinics. Age 39. Unexplained infertility.

What we found: Comprehensive workup revealed silent endometritis and elevated NK cell activity — neither screened for previously.

Protocol: Treated underlying conditions, modified immunologic protocol, single euploid transfer.

Outcome: Live birth, March 2024

Situation: International patient, low AMH. Three prior cycles abroad, no success.

What we found: Severe sperm DNA fragmentation in partner — never previously tested.

Protocol: Male-factor protocol with antioxidant therapy, ICSI with selected sperm, PGT-A.

Outcome: Live birth, July 2024

Situation: 3 miscarriages after positive pregnancy tests. Two prior clinics found 'nothing.'

What we found: Thrombophilia panel positive — clotting disorder missed in earlier workups.

Protocol: Anticoagulant therapy through pregnancy, monitored transfer cycle.

Outcome: Live birth, January 2025
