01/ What is the success rate of Blastocyst embryo Transfers?

The success rate of a IVF Treatment blastocyst transfer is 40-50%. Successful pregnancy can be achieved with fewer embryos and a reduced incidence of multiple births.

02/ Does a hatched Blastocyst implant faster?

Extending the culture of enlarged blastocysts for a few hours to allow for the transfer of spontaneously hatching/hatched blastocysts increases the implantation and pregnancy rates without increasing the danger of multiple gestations.

03/ Does Blastocyst implantation reduce the risk of multiple births?

Yes, blastocyst reduces the chances of multiple births as only embryos that appear to have the greatest opportunity for a successful implant are chosen. This means that only 1 or 2 blastocyst embryos are transferred, with pregnancy rates of greater than 50% in patients who develop healthy blastocysts. Hence, eliminating the risk of high-order multiple pregnancies, such as triplets or quadruplets.

04/ How Blastocyst Culturing help couples achieve pregnancy?

Blastocysts or advanced embryos have a higher chance of a successful pregnancy as the most healthier eggs are selected by the embryologists for a transfer in the uterus. Blastocyst implantation improves the rate of pregnancy and drops the chances of multiple pregnancy.

05/ Who is blastocyst embryo transfer recommended for?

Couples who have had unsuccessful attempts with IVF or IVF-ICSI despite having many good-quality eggs retrieved are being offered blastocyst culture as an alternative treatment. Couples with multiple good-quality embryos on day 3 are also strong candidates for blastocyst transfer. The ability to select the most viable embryos for transfer and implantation should improve these couples’ chance of achieving a pregnancy.
