Why is Blastocyst Culture and Transfer Done?
- Improved Implantation Rates: Blastocyst Culture and Transfer has been shown to improve implantation rates compared to traditional IVF. Blastocysts have a greater chance of implanting in the uterus due to their advanced stage of development.
- Reduced Risk of Multiple Pregnancies: By transferring only one or two blastocysts, the risk of multiple pregnancies is reduced.
- Increased Success Rates: Blastocyst Culture and Transfer has been shown to increase success rates compared to traditional IVF.
- Better Embryo Selection: Blastocyst Culture allows for better embryo selection, as only the healthiest and most viable embryos are transferred.
- Reduced Risk of Miscarriage: By transferring blastocysts, the risk of miscarriage is reduced.
Who is a Good Candidate for Blastocyst Culture and Transfer?
- Women under 35: Women under 35 who have a good ovarian reserve and are looking to improve their chances of getting pregnant.
- Women with previous IVF failures: Women who have had previous IVF failures may benefit from Blastocyst Culture and Transfer.
- Women with multiple pregnancy risks: Women who are at risk of multiple pregnancies may benefit from Blastocyst Culture and Transfer.
How does blastocyst culture and transfer work?
At Imprimis IVF, we understand that In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) can be a complex and overwhelming process. As the best IVF centre in Srinagar, now expanding to Bhubaneswar, we want to educate our patients on the various aspects of IVF, including Blastocyst Culture and Transfer.
Step 1: Ovulation Induction
The procedure begins with ovulation induction, where medications are used to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs.
Step 2: Egg Retrieval
When the eggs are fully mature, a minor surgical intervention is performed to retrieve them. This process is typically carried out with the patient under sedation or light anaesthesia.
Step 3: Fertilisation
Following retrieval, the eggs are fertilised with sperm in the laboratory through either ICSI or conventional IVF methods.
Step 4: Embryo Culture
The fertilised eggs (now called embryos) are then cultured in a specialised medium for 3-5 days. During this time, the embryos undergo several cell divisions and grow.
Step 5: Blastocyst Culture
On the 5th or 6th day, the embryos are transferred to a new medium that supports the growth of blastocysts, and the process is termed Blastocyst Culture.
Step 6: Blastocyst Transfer
The blastocysts are transferred to the uterus 5-6 days after egg retrieval, marking the final stage of the IVF process.
Step 7: Follow-up
Following blastocyst transfer, a follow-up appointment with your IVF specialist will confirm the outcome.
What to Expect During the Procedure?
During the procedure, you can expect:
- Egg retrieval involves a small surgical procedure.
- After the procedure, it’s essential to take it easy for a few hours.
- Following the procedure, mild cramping and spotting may occur, and follow-up appointments will be required to assess the outcome.
