Time Lapse Incubators – What they are and why we use them
August 28, 2017October, 2024
New scientific evidence and analysis of our results shows that uterine conditions may be affected by drugs used to stimulate the ovaries during IVF treatments.
When frozen embryo transfer is carried out in a Natural cycle or when hormone therapy is given for preparation of the uterine lining, the response of the uterus is more predictable.
Choice of fresh embryos for transfer is dependent on grading by the embryologists and observation of cell division during the 5 days in the time lapse incubator.
Choice of frozen embryos for transfer is based on survival at thawing & good expansion of blastocysts.
Results of our analyses are shown below :
2023 & 2024
In view of these results, we now “freeze all embryos” in IVF/ICSI treatments and transfer frozen-thawed embryos in subsequent months.
