Sequential embryo transfer
S equential embryo transfer is defined to be advancement over the earlier infertility methods. This proves to increase in the pregnancy rates for the infertile couples. As per the survey of the American Society of Reproductive Machines , the average success rate of 20 % for IVF can increase up to 50% for sequential embryo transfer.
What exactly sequential embryo transfer is?
S equential embryo transfer is the process of transferring the two groups of embryos during the same menstrual cycle of the female undergoing the IVF treatment. The one of the group which involves the best looking and the fastest growing embryos are transferred into the uterus of the female during the first 2 or 3 days once the collection of the eggs from the ovary has been done. The second groups of the embryos are more developed, and these developed group of embryos is transferred to the female’s uterus in later stages, when at least one embryo has reached the blastocyst stage and is about to hatch themselves from the shell referred to as Zona Pellucida. This further is followed by an attempt to implant in the lining of the uterus i.e. endometrium.
