Blastocyst Culture

What is Blastocyst Culture?

Normally, in standard IVF or ICSI cycles, the embryos are transferred back into the womb, on the second or third day after egg collection. This standardized method of day 2 or day 3 transfer yields good pregnancy rates.

However this method has some disadvantages:

Keeping in view, the above, many units, including ours, are now growing embryos in the Incubator, for 5 days, till they reach the mature Blastocyst stage, and then placing them back into the womb. This is known as Blastocyst transfer.

How is Blastocyst Culture done?

Major steps in the sequence are:

Why is Blastocyst culture not done routinely for all patients?

In 20 -30 % of patients, none of the embryos develop into Blastocyst. In these patients, there would be no viable embryo, available for embryo transfer. In such a patient the pregnancy chance will be zero.

This is a relatively new technique, and one does not know whether there would be long term adverse effects in exposing embryos for 5 days to the environment. At the same time, it would be important to note that there has been no increase in abnormalities in Blastocyst babies as compared to day 2/3 transfer babies.

Who would qualify for Blastocyst Culture?

It is important to counsel the patient about the occasional risk of zero Blastocyst formation and hence zero pregnancy.
