A blastocyst is an embryo of 5-6 days of age. This is produced in the lab during an IVF treatment. A mother’s eggs and a father’s sperm are fertilized in the lab and various embryos are produced. These embryos are then allowed to mature for up to 5 or 6 days to make the embryo healthier and stronger. This improves the chances of the embryo getting implanted in the uterus successfully and resulting in pregnancy. This fertilized egg or blastocyst is then transferred to the mother’s womb and allowed to hatch. The blastocyst has two types of cells, the outer ones develop into the placenta and the inner ones develop into the baby.
Blastocyst Transfer Treatment can increase the chances of pregnancy to a greater extent thereby giving IVF the highest success rate than ever.
In Blastocyst transfer, the embryo is cultured for 5 days before transferring to the uterus. With this process, only healthy growing and best embryos are transferred to the mother’s uterus. This eliminates the risk of multiple pregnancies as a single embryo can also be transferred. While in an IVF procedure, a few embryos are implanted which sometimes results in twin pregnancy.
- Multiple pregnancies (twins or triplets etc) can be avoided
- Only healthy embryos are implanted in the uterus
- The risk of genetic abnormalities reduces to a great extent
- In a natural pregnancy, the embryo reaches the uterus on day 6 so it is more natural to transfer the blastocyst at this stage
- Patients having recurrent failures of IVF
- Females having healthy eggs and embryo
- Patients using Frozen embryos can benefit from blastocyst transfer treatment as well
- If there are fewer embryos for transfer then they are allowed to grow up to 5-6 days to enhance the chances of pregnancy
- Patients who have 1 child and don’t want multiple pregnancies can also benefit from blastocyst transfer treatment.
We at Ethics IVF Clinic is the Best Blastocyst Transfer IVF treatment in Delhi. During our Blastocyst Transfer Treatment, we transfer just 1 or 2 blastocysts at a time, as transferring more than 2 blastocysts can lead to multiple pregnancies.
