Blastocyst Culture
At Bliss IVF, blastocyst culture is a medical innovation where an embryo is cultivated in a laboratory for about a week before being stored for just two to three days.
A blastocyst stage is reached during this period when embryos have expanded and reached the end of their development. Embryonic nutrition solutions that help embryos grow have greatly improved, and they are now widely used in clinical therapies.
At the blastocyst stage of development, the embryo consists of a ball of cells containing up to 125 cells. If you're wondering about its size, it's not much bigger than 0.5 mm. On the fifth or sixth day, the embryo is transported to the uterus. Most people think of blastocyst culturing as another way to treat infertility. After embryo transfer, it is also considered an effective method for achieving pregnancy.
Blastocyst culture necessitates ideal lab conditions. Around 45% of fertilized eggs make it to the blastocyst stage. Because only the most capable embryos develop into blastocysts, allowing embryos to grow and develop in the laboratory until they reach the blastocyst stage permits the most competent embryo/s to be selected for embryo transfer.
A specialist can help you determine whether blastocyst culture is right for you if you are considering it. If you have had more than three stimulation cycles and have not gotten pregnant, are over 40 years old, and wish to get a single embryo, you may be a good candidate for this method of getting pregnant and having a child.
