Extract

Reproductive failure is relatively common in humans compared with other mammalian species that have been studied. In young couples that are trying to conceive, the fecundity rate, (probability of achieving a clinically recognised pregnancy within a monthly cycle) is about 25%. The major cause of implantation failure in humans after both in vivo and in vitro fertilisation is now thought to be the high incidence of chromosomal abnormality.
