Blastocyst Culture
Blastocyst Culture is an advanced IVF method that mirrors the natural development of embryos. In a natural cycle, fertilized eggs reach the uterus by day 5, when implantation chances are highest. Using Blastocyst Culture, embryos are grown to this stage in the lab, doubling implantation success compared to traditional day 2 transfers.
Why Choose Blastocyst Culture?
1. Egg Retrieval & Fertilization
The process starts with ovarian stimulation to produce multiple mature eggs. These eggs are collected and fertilized using IVF or ICSI techniques.
2. Embryo Development
Fertilized eggs are cultured in a carefully controlled lab environment, allowing them to divide and grow from a single cell to a multi-cell structure over the first few days.
3. Culturing to Blastocyst Stage
By day 5 or 6, embryos that develop into blastocysts are closely monitored. Embryologists evaluate cell growth, differentiation, and expansion to select the healthiest embryos.
4. Embryo Selection & Transfer
Top-quality blastocysts are chosen for transfer into the uterus, based on grading and developmental features to maximize implantation chances.
5. Confirming Pregnancy
After transfer, careful monitoring and testing confirm if implantation has been successful, bringing hopeful parents closer to their dream of parenthood.
