the cryolock.
• The procedure is repeated for subsequent Blastocyst. We usually freeze only one blastocyst per cryolock, because the survival rates are so high !
• When all embryos have... location.
Artificial shrinkage of Blastocysts before vitrifying them Increasing blastocoelic fluid in expanding blastocysts has been associated with poorer survival rates

is labeled a "blastocyst", and if it survives, they freeze it. Blastocysts have higher implantation rates as they are "further developed".
We had been told in the operating room on Friday that our blastocyst was "not doing cartwheels." I called today to check on it and spoke with the embryologist. He told me that the blastocyst had died over the weekend. He

Just Before Blastocyst: The Morlula

So what happens after day 3? Two days later we would like it to be a blastocyst. The day before it becomes a blastocyst, it should be a morula. A morula forms when the 8 cell embryo divides further, and at the same time the cells become very close to each other. Here it’s difficult to see the borders of the cells, so the morula looks like one big

Hello everyone, this blog will describe the blastocyst. I will show you some pictures and tell you what is good and what is less good. Next time I will tell you a little about our blastocyst experience at NYU.
Let’s start with an easy one, a nice one. This is a very nice blasotocyst.
This is the type of embryo you may see on doctor’s web

Is a blastocyst transfer better than a Day 3 transfer

One of the commonest question patients ask me is whether they should choose a Day 3 transfer or a Day 5 ( blastocyst ) transfer .
Blastocyst transfer was first... belong in the fallopian tube and not the uterus ( unlike blastocysts, which is the stage the embryo reaches when it arrives in the uterus and is ready to implant).
The initial

The advantage of a day 5 blastocyst transfer has to do with selection. These days most reputable programs are putting 2 embryos back in youngish women (I know what you’re... not be able to tell which embryos are the best ones. So, we can wait 2 more days. In that time, some embryos may not grow well, but probably those embryos would not have survived

An embryo would be expected to become a blastocyst on day 5 after egg collection.
When an egg gets fertilised by the sperm it starts to divide into two cells, then four cells etc... On day five it will hopefully have become a blastocyst which is a ball of cells, consisting of an outer layer which will become the placenta, and some inner cells

This is the first installment of blastocyst blog; but it's a bit of a pre-requisite. To give you a feel of where we are going, I will start with pictures of eggs and embryos and then blastocysts.
This is an egg. I doesn't really look like an egg. Part of the reason for this is that in this picture there are hundreds of cells, but just
