Some examples of failures resulting in or related to infertility:
Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis of conditions:
A failure to diagnose underlying conditions that contribute to infertility, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, or hormonal imbalances, can delay appropriate treatment and negatively impact the chances of conception.
Errors in Treatment:
Mistakes made during fertility treatments can result in failed procedures, complications, or harm to the patient.
Medication Errors:
Incorrect dosage or administration of fertility medications can lead to adverse effects or ineffective treatment, reducing the likelihood of successful conception.
Negligent Surgical Procedures:
Surgical interventions for conditions like tubal ligation reversal (surgery that aims to restore fertility in women who have reviously undergone tubal ligation), tubal surgeries, or reproductive organ surgeries may result in complications or further damage, impacting fertility.
Failure to Provide Informed Consent:
Healthcare providers are required to inform patients about the risks, benefits, and alternatives of fertility treatments or procedures.
If there was a failure to obtain informed consent, and had you made a different decision armed with all of the information you should have been given, you may have grounds for bringing a claim.
Embryo Mix-Up or Mismanagement:
Errors in handling or labelling of embryos during IVF procedures can result in implantation of the wrong embryo or loss of embryos.
