Blastocyst Culture And Transfer

Blastocyst Culture And Transfer

Blastocyst culture is the process of growing embryos in a laboratory until they reach the blastocyst stage, which is the final stage of development before implantation in the uterus. Blastocyst transfer is when these fully developed blastocyst embryos are placed into the woman's uterus.





Our Procedure for Blastocyst Culture And Transfer Will Include:

  • Eggs are collected from the woman's ovaries after hormone stimulation.
  • The eggs are fertilized in the laboratory, forming embryos.
  • The embryos are cultured in a controlled environment for 2 to 5 days. They grow and develop.
  • After about 5 days, some embryos develop into blastocysts.
  • The blastocysts with best quality are selected for transfer.
  • The selected blastocyst embryos are transferred into the woman’s uterus using a thin tube.

FAQs

 1. What is a blastocyst?
       A blastocyst is an embryo that has developed for about five days and is ready for implantation in the uterus.

 2. Why is blastocyst culture done?
        It allows for the selection of more developed embryos, which may increase the chances of successful implantation.

 3. How long does blastocyst culture take?
        Blastocyst culture typically takes about five days after fertilization.

 4. What happens during the blastocyst transfer?
        The blastocyst embryos selected are placed into the uterus.

5. Can all embryos be cultured to the blastocyst stage?
       No, not all embryos develop into blastocysts; only the best quality ones are usually done.

6. What is the difference between day 3 and day 5 of embryo transfer?
        Day 3 transfers involve embryos at an earlier stage, while day 5 (blastocyst) transfers involve more developed embryos.
