Blastocyst Culture
At Gem Hospital & IVF Centre, we are dedicated to providing cutting-edge fertility treatments to help couples achieve their dream of parenthood. One of the most advanced techniques we offer is Blastocyst Culture, a revolutionary method in assisted reproductive technology (ART) that enhances the chances of a successful pregnancy.
What is Blastocyst Culture?
Blastocyst Culture is a process in which fertilized eggs (embryos) are grown in a specialized laboratory environment for 5-6 days until they reach the blastocyst stage. A blastocyst is a more developed embryo with a higher potential for implantation in the uterus, significantly improving the success rate of In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) treatments.
The Importance of Blastocyst Culture
Traditionally, embryos were transferred to the uterus on day 2 or 3 of development. However, not all embryos survive beyond this stage in the natural environment of the uterus. Blastocyst Culture allows us to identify and select the most viable embryos that have successfully developed in a controlled environment.
This technique benefits patients by:
- Increasing the likelihood of successful implantation.
- Reducing the risk of multiple pregnancies by enabling single embryo transfer (SET).
- Improving overall IVF success rates.
The Blastocyst Culture Process
1. Fertilization in the Laboratory
After retrieving eggs and sperm, they are fertilized in the laboratory to create embryos.
2. Extended Culture
The embryos are cultured in a specialized incubator with optimal conditions for up to 5-6 days.
3. Monitoring and Selection
Embryologists monitor the embryos during their development and select the most robust blastocysts with the highest implantation potential.
4. Embryo Transfer
The selected blastocyst(s) are transferred into the uterus during a minimally invasive procedure.
5. Freezing Extra Blastocysts
Excess viable blastocysts can be cryopreserved for future use, giving couples additional chances for pregnancy.
Who Can Benefit from Blastocyst Culture?
Blastocyst Culture is particularly beneficial for:
- Couples with previous IVF failures.
- Women under 35 with good ovarian reserve.
- Couples opting for single embryo transfer to reduce the risk of multiple pregnancies.
- Patients undergoing Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT).
- Couples looking to optimize the chances of a successful pregnancy in their first IVF cycle.
