In traditional IVF, embryos are usually transferred after three days of development. In blastocyst culture, they are monitored for an additional two to three days to reach the blastocyst stage. At this stage, the embryo has divided into more cells and has a higher chance of successful implantation. This method also reduces the likelihood of multiple pregnancies, as fewer but stronger embryos are selected for transfer.
This technique helps improve selection and allows the uterine lining more time to be ready for implantation.
After egg retrieval and fertilisation, the embryos are grown in a lab for up to five or six days. Our embryologists monitor them daily to track development. The best quality blastocyst is selected for transfer, and the remaining suitable embryos can be frozen for future use. The embryo transfer itself is a simple, painless procedure that does not require anaesthesia.
Success per cycle: 10–20%, depending on age, egg and sperm quality, and how accurately ovulation is tracked.
Most couples are advised to try OITI for 3–6 cycles before considering other fertility treatments.
Best results are seen in women under 35 with regular cycles and no major underlying fertility issues.
