With the increasing popularity of blastocyst assisted reproduction treatment, the specialist fertility clinic ProcreaTec explain all you need to know and whether this is a potential infertility treatment for you.
A blastocyst is an embryo that has developed for five to six days after fertilization. It is made up of two types of cells: the outermost layer, the trophoblast, which will later develop into the placenta, and the inner cell mass, which will become the baby.
Blastocyst transfer is potentially appropriate for everyone who obtains a few good quality embryos by day 3. One of the principal advantages of transferring at blastocyst stage for women under 38 and women using donor eggs is the ability to transfer a single embryo and still have the same chance of pregnancy as transferring two on day 3, with next to no risk of having twins.
There are four important reasons that illustrate the advantages of blastocyst transfer:
The goal of Assisted Reproduction is to help a woman have one healthy take-home baby. When transferring two blastocysts, the twin pregnancy rate is much higher and owing to this fact, single blastocyst transfer should be considered.
Since its establishment, ProcreaTec has been a firm believer in transferring blastocysts on day five. Due to the optimal conditions at ProcreaTec’s lab, our pregnancy rates at blastocyst stage are comparable to the best IVF centers worldwide.
