BLASTOCYST CULTURE

In conventional IVF the embryo transfer is done in the uterus after 48 hours at 4-8 cell stage. In natural conception the embryo reaches the uterine cavity only on day FIVE. With the availability of new extended culture medium, we can now culture the embryos in the laboratory till the blastocyst stage (i.e. day 5-6). Thereby increasing the chances of success dramatically to 50%.
