Assisted Embryo Hatching: Enhancing Your Chance of Success

A Gentle Helping Hand on Your IVF Journey

At RSMC, we know the care, courage, and hope that go into each IVF cycle. Assisted hatching is a safe, advanced technique that gives embryos a little extra support in implanting, offering some patients a better chance at pregnancy. With experienced specialists and compassionate care, we’re here to help you move closer to the family you’ve been dreaming of.

Guided by Precision and Expertise

Assisted Embryo Hatching is an advanced laboratory technique designed to improve a crucial step in the IVF process: an embryo’s ability to implant in the uterus.

For many patients, the embryo’s protective outer layer, the zona pellucida, can be too thick for the embryo to “hatch” and implant successfully.

Our expert team uses a meticulous, precise procedure to address this challenge and maximize your chances of a successful pregnancy.

Who Should Consider Assisted Embryo Hatching?

This procedure is a valuable option for patients facing specific challenges that can impact implantation success. It is typically recommended for:

Women over the age of 35.

Patients who have had multiple failures with IVF cycles.

Patients with abnormal zonae, which may be too thick or hardened.

Patients who have previously undergone PGD, as the freezing and thawing process can sometimes affect the zona pellucida.

The Assisted Embryo Hatching Process at RSMC

Our process is designed to be clear and supportive, ensuring you feel confident every step of the way.

Thinning or Rupture

Using precision micromanipulation techniques under a microscope, a small hole is created in the zona pellucida, the outer layer of the embryo. This delicate procedure is performed on day 4 of embryo development by our skilled embryologists.

Washing

The embryo is then washed and placed back into the incubator to continue culturing.

Transfer

The day after hatching, the embryo is transferred to the uterus, where it will hopefully implant and result in a successful pregnancy.
