Our Equipment & TechnologyBlastocyst Transfer

Blastocyst Transfer

By allowing the embryos to be cultured to the stage of blastocysts in vitro, our embryologists are in a better position to select embryos of higher quality for transfer, so that it is more likely for healthy babies to be developed. Only the best embryos can proceed to the blastocyst stage.

Another advantage that blastocyst transfer has versus Day 3 transfer is the lower risk of potential multiple pregnancies since a smaller number of embryos of higher grade may be transferred for an equivalent pregnancy rate. Supernumerary blastocysts after embryo transfer may also be stored for later use by means of a new technique called vitrification.
