Advanced laboratory techniques to nurture embryos to their optimal development stage, increasing your chances of successful pregnancy.
Blastocyst culture is an advanced laboratory technique used in IVF where embryos are grown for 5-6 days after fertilization instead of the standard 2-3 days, allowing them to reach the blastocyst stage before transfer.
Embryos are cultured to day 5-6 when they develop into blastocysts with distinct inner cell mass (future baby) and trophectoderm (future placenta).
The extended culture period serves as a natural selection process, as only the most viable embryos will develop to the blastocyst stage.
Transferring embryos at the blastocyst stage better synchronizes with the uterine environment, as in natural conception, embryos reach the uterus at this stage.
Extended embryo culture to the blastocyst stage offers several advantages that significantly improve IVF outcomes.
Blastocyst transfer generally results in higher pregnancy and live birth rates compared to day 3 transfers.
Allows embryologists to select the most viable embryos with the greatest developmental potential.
Fewer embryos can be transferred while maintaining high success rates, reducing the risk of multiple pregnancies.
More cells are available for preimplantation genetic testing, yielding more accurate results.
The timing of blastocyst transfer better matches the natural window of implantation in the uterus.
Blastocysts generally freeze and thaw better than earlier-stage embryos.
