Is there any downside to Blastocyst Culture?
A. Yes. Some embryos may not grow to the Blastocyst stage and as a result there may not be any embryos to transfer on day five. This result may explain why a particular patient is unable to conceive, but such an outcome is very disappointing and unsatisfactory for patients and also for all of the Corona Institute for Reproductive Medicine & Fertility staff involved in their IVF treatment. This outcome can be avoided by selecting only those embryos which appear to be developing normally and are the best candidates for Blastocyst Culture.
