What Is Blastocyst Culture?
An embryo is called a blastocyst when it has developed in a five to six days period after fertilization. This stage has a cavity filled with fluid and two important cell groups; the inner cell mass, which develops into the baby and the trophectoderm, which develops into the placenta . Naturally in nature, this is when the embryo comes into its own, and becomes attached to the uterus.
The blasting culture subject is nurturing embryos in a laboratory until the maturity stage. It enables the embryologist to test which embryos show the greatest potential to implant.
What is The Cost Of Blastocyst Culture?
IVF costs range based on the inclusions of the package but the extra cost comprising of blastocyst culture includes a small premium. Expect incremental expenses averaging around 15,000-20,000 India Rupees- with an additional genetic testing and/or freezing requirements.
Who Should Consider Blastocyst Culture?
- Couples with a history of failed IVF.
- Women who desire one healthy pregnancy while minimizing risks.
- Those considering Pre-Implantation Genetic Testing (PGT)—blastocysts provide more than enough cells for biopsy (even a day 6 blast can work, which is sometimes needed depending on how the lab functions)
- Potential to offer embryo selection to patients with a healthy number of cleavage stage embryos who would like improved embryo selection before transfer
Blastocyst Culture Process: Step By Step
Step 1: Fertilization & Embryo-side Initial Growth
The process of fertilizing the eggs and sperm by using IVF or ICSI. Embryos grow on Days 2 (2–4 cells) as well as Day 3 (8 tissues).
Step 2: Extended Culture Phase
Day 5–6: Healthiest are cultured to blastocyst stage in optimized media with controlled lab conditions
Step 3: Blastocyst Culturing & PGS Analysis
Embryologists discern the best-quality embryos for transfer based on morphology and development criteria.
Step 4: Transfer or Cryopreservation
The selected blastocyst(s) are then transferred into the woman's uterus. Any surplus viable blastocysts can be cryopreserved for stored cycles allowing for continued possibilities.
Before & After Blastocyst Culture, What Happens?
Pre Blastocyst Culture
It starts with the Controlled Ovarian Stimulation in order to make several mature female eggs. These are eggs taken out during a minor operation and then fertilized in the laboratory (by normal IVF or ICSI). After fertilization, the embryos are nurtured with close attention by using special incubators. The first three days involve evaluation of the embryologic development of cell division and growth in order to determine which embryos are healthy to move to the blastocyst stage.
Post Blastocyst Culture
Day 5 or 6, the embryos that have already developed into blastocysts are examined with the purpose of quality and viability. Only the highest quality of blastocyst are preferred as to be transferred in the uterus with a goal of attaining a healthy pregnancy. Supernumerary good quality blastocysts can be frozen (vitrified) and used later. Where genetic testing (PGT) is advised, this is done prior to freezing or transfer- but this selection of gender is not allowed in India. Following the transfer, advice regarding the medications, rest periods and repeat of the pregnancy test is given in 12 to 14 day following the transfer.
The benefits of Blastocyst Culture
- Greater pregnancy rates- Blastocysts gives you better chances of implants.
- Fewer multiple pregnancies- Embryos transferred are fewer, so fewer risks.
- Improved selection of embryo- Survival to blastocyst stage occurs only in developing embryos.
- PGT compatibility - Blastocysts are safer and genetically properly tested.
- Natural matching with nature- More natural timing of implantation than previous transfers.
What Are the Risks of Blastocyst Culture?
The higher the chances of implantation in blastocyst culture, however the risks are as follows:
- No Blastocyst Formation: Sometimes embryos do not pass the blastocyst stage → cycle may need to be cancelled due to lack of transfer. This is thought to be more related to the quality of the embryo than performance of the lab.
- Embryo Loss During Culture: Extended culture to 5–6 days trophoblast can lead to lesser number of viable embryos as opposed to earlier transfers.
- Embryo Freezing Not a Guarantee: For patients who developed only a few blastocysts, the ability to freeze and store additional embryos is limited.
- Variable performance between labs: Just like any other medical science, negotiating the varied success rates at different IVF clinics depends on the advanced lab protocols and skilled embryologists.
- Impact on Patient Emotional & Financial well being : Extended culture time and possibility of cycle cancellation could be emotionally traumatic for the patients may lead to increased cost of treatment.
These risks can be minimized by picking a reputable IVF clinic in Delhi which have a good experience for blastocyst culture.
Reasons To Choose Blastocyst Culture at SCI IVF Hospital in Delhi
- Increased Implants Potential. In Blastocyst stage, embryos are much more developed and more suited to being implanted in their new home raising the chances of a viable pregnancy than those delivered at the drawing board stages (Day 2-3) of transfer.
- Lower risk Single Embryo Transfer. A smaller number of good quality blastocysts can be implanted- drastically increasing the likelihood of avoiding multiple gestations with high success rates.
- Natural Timing Alignment. Embryo transfer at the blastocyst stage is highly synonymous to the natural timeline in which implantation happens during the natural cycle .
- Better Embryo selection. Out of the fertilized eggs, only around 30-60 percent hit the blastocyst stage and this aids in weeding out the least viable embryos to be transferred.
FAQs on Blastocyst Culture Treatment
Sometimes yes-depending on age of patient, number of embryos, and history of responsiveness.
There are two possibilities that we can jump to: early-stage transfer or reevaluate the cycle.
Sure--the blastocysts freeze well and postpone subsequent pregnancy opportunities.
It does exist, but genetic testing is illegal in India. We strictly prohibit it.
No, even women more than 38 can benefit from this, yet some elements of age are determinants.
