What is Assisted Hatching? 🧐

Assisted hatching is a laboratory technique used in IVF to help the embryo implant into the uterus more easily. During this procedure, a small opening is made in the outer layer (zona pellucida) of the embryo to assist it in "hatching" and attaching to the uterine lining.

Why is it done? For some embryos, particularly in cases where the patient has had previous unsuccessful IVF cycles and or their embryos has thick or hard zona pellucida, assisted hatching can improve the chances of successful implantation and pregnancy.

This is how it's done! 😉

What is a Blastocyst? 🧐

👉 Blastocyst is a stage of embryo development that typically occurs on Day 5 after fertilization. At this stage, the embryo has grown significantly. Day 5 embryos are often chosen for embryo transfer because they have a higher chance of implantation, giving us more confidence in its ability to result in a successful pregnancy.

Here's a short video about embryo development after fertilization.

Why is Having Multiple Eggs Beneficial for IVF Treatment?

While having multiple eggs during IVF isn't a must, it can enhance the likelihood of a successful IVF outcome. Here's why! 🧐

The number of eggs needed for IVF varies based on ovarian reserve and age, with 6 to 8 follicles often being sufficient for success. Controlled ovarian stimulation and ultrasound monitoring help determine the quantity of mature eggs retrieved, but not all follicles will yield viable eggs. A balance of quality and quantity of eggs increases the chances of viable embryos, which can be frozen for future use or additional attempts if needed. (https://ovoclinic.net/how-many-eggs-are-needed-for-in-vitro-fertilization/?lang=en)

‼ Note that IVF success depends not only on egg quality but also on s***m quality!

Considering S***m or Egg Freezing? Here's What You Need to Know ‼

S***m and egg freezing are methods to preserve fertility for the future. Whether due to medical treatments, career planning, or personal reasons, freezing ensures you have the option to start a family later.

👉 S***m Freezing: S***m freezing is the method of preserving s***m by cooling it to extremely low temperatures. It is normally obtained through self-collection, although it sometimes requires invasive procedures such as testicular s***m extraction in cases of azoos***mia or post-vasectomy.

👉 Egg Freezing: Involves hormonal treatment (stimulation) and retrieval process.

FAQ: "Is it necessary for patients with specific gynecological conditions to undergo laparoscopy before proceeding IVF?" 🧐

Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows doctors to closely examine the reproductive organs. While laparoscopy is not always necessary before undergoing IVF treatment, there are certain conditions, such as hydrosalpinx and submucous myoma, where laparoscopic intervention is recommended before embryo transfer, as these conditions can interfere with the success of implantation.

Consult your fertility specialist to know more about this.
