You must have the basic information about conventional IVF treatment; even if you don’t or want to read a concise description about it then here you are –
IVF includes multiple procedures involving both – man and the woman in the couple, but majorly the role of the female partner is there. The female is provided fertility medication and regular hormonal injection (for 10 to 14 days) during the first step of IVF. These medications are given to produce multiple eggs from the female’s ovaries at the time of maturity. The female patient pays a few visits in between these days for ultrasounds and blood hormonal tests. Expert investigates the stage of oocytes (eggs) and when eggs are ready to retrieve. On the given date by the expert, the specialist collects the eggs by using a hollow-needle. These eggs are then kept next to the sperm (in the petri dish) for natural fertilization. Once the sperm gets penetrated the egg’s wall, fertilization is nearly accomplished.
Now if talking, about Assisted hatching in India, the work-role begins here once the embryos are formed.
Assisted hatching is a laboratory technique which helps IVF or ICSI-created embryos to hatch. During this method, the IVF specialist creates a small hole in the zona pellucida of the embryos – mechanically, chemically or by using a laser – to allow the embryo to ‘hatch out’ through the treated area.
The fertility team of We Care IVF Surrogacy uses a directional fibre-optic laser system to make a fissure in the zona safely and swiftly. Assisted hatching is the process, which is always carried out just before the fertilized eggs or embryos are transferred into the recipient’s womb or uterus.
The most commonly used indications for assisted hatching with an in vitro fertilization case are:
In our IVF clinic, we use assisted hatching on just about all cases – because we think it increases the pregnancy and delivery rates.
Pregnancy rates for in vitro fertilization procedures with assisted hatching have been shown in some published studies to be higher than for IVF without hatching. There is an improvement in the rate of embryo implantation and pregnancy in our IVF clinic with the use of assisted hatching. Apparently, this benefit is not seen in all IVF programs.
It is possible to damage embryos with hatching and lower the pregnancy rates. Therefore, it is essential that if assisted hatching is done, it must be expertly performed by adequately trained embryologists. You need to select the IVF centre for Assisted Hatching in India after doing a well-research and analysing each aspect about that centre such as the experience count of the embryologist, IVF specialist, clinic’s success rate of IVF with Assisted Hatching and so on.
The actual pregnancy and live birth rates seen in an individual IVF center will vary according to the hatching technique used, the overall quality of the laboratory, the skill of the individual performing the hatching, the embryo transfer skills of the physician, and other factors.
