Blastocyst Transfer for Infertility Treatment

Understanding Blastocyst

A blastocyst is a highly advanced frozen embryo that is grown until it is ready to attach to the uterine wall for implantation.

Blastocyst Transfer

A blastocyst embryo transfer is a technique used with in vitro fertilization (IVF). It is devised to increase the chances of testing positive for pregnancy. It is also used to minimise the chance of multiple pregnancies. This technology, improved and worked on by our specialists have reported an increase of pregnancy rate while essentially dropping the high-risk multiple pregnancies, like triplets or quadruplets.

During blastocyst implantation, an embryo is at an advanced stage of physiological advancement when there are two cell types present: one group of cells that form the placenta, and another group of cells that form the fetus. The advancement in IVF gives the embryos in the lab the proper nutrients to grow. This also pertains to choose from the best-developed embryos and ability to transfer a fewer number of embryos.

What makes Blastocyst special?

During the advanced stage of development in a blastocyst embryo the embryo's own genes gets activated, called genomic activation. The genes are chemical codes in our body that make us unique. When a sperm and egg fertilize the resulting in a baby, the baby is a complex mixture of the genes that comes from the mother and father. This mixture creates a child who is unique and different from mother, father, or siblings, while holding certain similarities. Throughout the early growth of the embryo, the energy and chemicals required for cell division comes from the mother's egg. And for it to develop past the third or fourth day of life, the embryo activates its own genes and generates energy for further cell division and differentiation. This biological progression serious and does not transpire as easily as one may expect. Roughly one-third of the embryos are capable of effectively triggering their genes to grow into the blastocyst stage. And with an embryo in the blastocyst stage it is nature’s way of telling that it is a healthier embryo with an improved chance of intrauterine transfer and successful implantation and later in due course of time resulting in a normal, healthy, baby.
