Blastocyst culture and transfer is an important technique developed for in vitro fertilization (IVF) that maximizes pregnancy rates while minimizing the risk of multiple pregnancy. The ability to grow embryos for five or six days to the blastocyst stage of development in the laboratory, rather than the traditional three days, allows Sankalp Test Tube Baby Centre embryology team to determine, with greater certainty, which embryos are really the “best” in terms of their potential for implantation and ultimately pregnancy. Consequently, blastocyst culture makes it possible to select the best one or two blastocysts vs. two or three (or rarely four) early embryos to transfer back to the mother. This reduces the occurrence of potentially risky multiple births. Sankalp Test Tube Baby Centre constantly strives to improve IVF success rates through the steady refinements of clinical and laboratory techniques. Clinical blastocyst culture and transfer is an important step in that evolution.
Traditionally, embryos had been transferred to the uterus on the second or third day of development after in vitro fertilization and initial embryo cell division. Transferring embryos this early had been a balance between maximizing the degree of embryo selection available through longer culture in the IVF Lab, versus minimizing the exposure of the embryos to culture media which, in the past, could only sustain growth for two to three days. The culture media of the past was more of a “one size fits all” option and as a result the dynamic processes of embryo development were not able to be taken into account. Because of this, blastocyst growth in vitro had always been suboptimal. But advances in culture media now allow physicians and embryologist to take into account the myriad changing needs of the developing embryo in vitro.
