We assess each embryo in the laboratory based on the appearance, number, and size of the cells and development rate to pick the highest-quality embryo for transfer.
Moreover, we also evaluate the embryos depending on whether it is in the cleavage or blastocyst stage.
To do so, we use advanced grading systems such as:
Extended embryo culture – Allowing the embryo to develop to a more advanced stage by extending the embryo culture to day 5 makes it possible to select the highest quality embryo.
Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy – PGT-A is a safe and reliable test that helps to identify the embryos with normal chromosome counts.
Vitrification –The extra viable embryos are vitrified and stored for future use. They can be thawed for transfer later on.
