What is Blastocyst Transfer?

Blastocyst Transfer is placing a 5–6 day old embryo, called a blastocyst, into the uterus. It allows embryos to develop more before transfer, improving chances of implantation.

Doctors carefully monitor embryos in the lab and choose the healthiest one for transfer.

🧬

Embryo Growth

The embryo develops for 5–6 days to reach blastocyst stage in the lab.

🌱

Blastocyst Selection

Doctors select the healthiest blastocyst for better implantation chances.

🫶

Gentle Transfer

The blastocyst is placed softly into the uterus using a thin tube, ensuring comfort and safety.

How Blastocyst Transfer Works

The process involves several careful steps to ensure the best chance for pregnancy.

Step 1

Ovarian Stimulation

Medications help multiple eggs mature for retrieval.

Regular scans monitor growth.

Step 2

Egg Retrieval

Eggs are collected in a safe, planned procedure.

Done under mild sedation.

Step 3

Fertilization & Culture

Eggs are fertilized and cultured for 5–6 days until blastocyst forms.

Embryos are monitored for quality.

Step 4

Blastocyst Transfer

Selected blastocyst is placed in the uterus; pregnancy test follows ~2 weeks later.

Gentle and precise procedure.

Timeline idea: stimulation 1–2 weeks → egg retrieval → embryo culture 5–6 days → blastocyst transfer → wait ~2 weeks for results.
