Blastocyst Embryo Transfer

Overview

Blastocyst Embryo Transfer is an advanced IVF technique where embryos are cultured for 5-6 days until they reach the blastocyst stage. Blastocysts have a higher implantation potential, as they are more developed than embryos transferred on day 2 or 3. This method is associated with higher pregnancy rates.

Who is Blastocyst Transfer For?

Ideal for patients with:

  • Previous IVF failures
  • Good embryo quality and count in previous cycles
  • Higher chances of implantation with advanced embryo development

Blastocyst Transfer Process

  • Extended Embryo Culture: Embryos are cultured to the blastocyst stage.
  • Embryo Quality Assessment: Blastocysts are monitored, and high-quality ones are selected.
  • Transfer Procedure: A selected blastocyst is transferred into the uterus.

Success Rates and Advantages

Blastocyst transfers improve the chances of pregnancy and can reduce the risk of multiple pregnancies by transferring fewer embryos with higher potential.
