One of the causes of IVF Treatments failing is that a fertilized embryo may not attach itself to the lining of the uterus. By reducing the chance of this kind of failure, the role of Assisted Hatching in IVF is crucial. A fertilized embryo must hatch, by breaking out of a layer of proteins developed around it, and implant itself to the womb.

THE PROCEDURE:

There are two ways to perform this procedure. One is where an acidic solution is used, to dissolve a small part of the zona pellucida, the outermost layer of the embryo. A modern technique of performing the procedure is by Lazer Assisted Hatching, where a computer operated micro-laser is used, to make a small opening in the zona pellucida. This enables the cells to easily escape through the hole. The Assisted Hatching IVF success rate is high, enabling a pregnancy to occur where there was previously no hope.

THE CRITERIA FOR ASSISTED HATCHING:

There are a few types of people who may require Assisted Hatching in IVF Treatments.

• Women who are over the age of 38.
• With a production of low-quality embryos.
• Who have had 2 previously failed IVF cycles.
• Women whose embryos develop a thicker than normal zona pellucida.
• Women with high FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) levels, which indicate a lower reserve of eggs.

IVM AND ASSISTED HATCHING:

Some women face issues, with their eggs maturing irregularly, and sometimes not maturing at all. The IVM (In Vitro Maturation) procedure helps these women conceive, by maturing the eggs in a lab (in-vitro). Only the best embryos as used for this process. For women who do not produce good quality embryos, or wish to preserve the embryos for later use. Assisted hatching can help boost the success rate of the procedure.
