Blastocyst Culture:
A blastocyst is an embryo that has been cultured or grown from the Day 3 stage to Day 5. The development of an embryo continues to a blastocyst stage, which should be reached by day five.
Advantages of Blastocyst Culture:
The ideal incubator for human embryos is the human body, but if there are numerous embryos available on day 3, we know that not all of them will live to reach five days stage, whether they are in a lab or the womb. The risk of transferring an embryo on day 3 that would ordinarily die before day 5 is removed by keeping the embryos in the lab for these two more days. As a result, it increases the likelihood that an embryo transfer will result in a healthy pregnancy and delivery.
Whether to transfer an embryo on day 3 or day 5 will depend on the current situation. With the patient, the embryologist will thoroughly go through this.
