Today we have successfully transferred Blastocyst embryos to one of our patients at KIC Hyderabad.
Blastocyst embryo transfer is a technique,
incorporated with In vitro fertilization (IVF), in which an embryo that has
been cultured to the blastocyst stage is transferred to the womb.
The Blastocyst culture and transfer at Blastocyst Stage Procedure for In-Vitro Fertilization selection of the best quality embryos for transfer. The concept of embryo quality is the very important concept to consider especially for couples who are experiencing fertility related issues and are unable to conceive. With Blastocyst embryo transfer, At KIC we transfer fewer embryos – which significantly improves the chances of implantation and thereby increases the chances of pregnancy. Another advantage of transfer at Blastocyst Stage is it reduces the risk of multiple pregnancies.
A Blastocyst is an embryo that has been developed for 5 to 7 days after fertilization unlike the normal transfer in 2 to 3 days (cleavage stage). At this point, the embryo has two different cell types and a central cavity. In this stage, it has just starts to differentiate. The surface cells- called the Trophectoderm, will become the Placenta, and the inner cells-called the inner cell mass, will become the Fetus. A healthy Blastocyst should begin hatching from its outer shell- called the Zona Pellucid, by the end of the sixth day. Within about 24 hours after hatching, it should begin to implant into the lining of the mother’s uterus.
Blastocyst culturing is a technique to grow embryos beyond the 3rd day of culture. Typically in cases of transfer in 3 days after the egg retrieval, embryos generally develop between 6-8 cells. When the embryos culture is extended to blastocyst stage on day 5 they become round 120 cells. 
A natural process of embryo development begins with the fertilization of the egg in the outer aspect of the fallopian tube. As the newly formed embryo develops, it slowly moves towards the uterine cavity where it has to ultimately implant. This process takes approximately 6-7 days. An embryo in “Blastocyst” stage, is ready to implant.

In certain patients, the advantage of Blastocyst culturing is to allow optimal selection of embryos for transfer, resulting in an increased implantation rate per embryo transferred. However, it is important to understand that this technology may not necessarily increase your chance of pregnancy as there are many other factors to be countered into to ascertain whether blastocyst culture will be beneficial for a particular case which includes age, number & quality of eggs developed. The main advantage is that fewer embryos may be transferred, still improvising chances of pregnancy, also eliminating or limiting the possibility of multiple pregnancies.
At kic almost all our embryo transfers are at Blastocyst stage as it helps in increasing the chance of pregnancy and reducing abnormal.
