In the webinar, the participants had a chance to find out whether extra IVF lab procedures like
The use of time lapse technology is another additional treatment regularly offered to patients, and one which PreGen clinic has recorded a 20% pregnancy increase following their usage.Time lapse is an optical system within the incubator which allows embryologists greater opportunity to study embryonic development throughout the entire cultivation period. When time lapse imaging is not used by clinics, embryologists have to physically remove the embryos at least every 24 hours so that their development can be analysed. Removing the embryos from their incubator exposes them to microscopic lights, temperature and humidity changes and human manipulation. Time lapse incubators limit this exposure and instead offer constant, optimal cultivation conditions. As embryologists are afforded around the clock embryo observation, time lapse technology helps them to select only those with the highest implantation potential for transfer and freezing. Assisted hatching and embryo glue are two other laboratory add-ons which can be performed to aid implantation. In assisted hatching a minor defect is created in the embryo membrane which potentially increases implantation potential. It would typically be recommended for embryos that have morphological issues that might make implantation more difficult. Embryo glue is used as a transfer medium and is enriched with everything an embryo needs to help it implant. As of yet, no clear data has been collated to confirm whether these two techniques have a significant impact on implantation. Dr Galvez advises that it is important for patients to remember that these are additional treatments and are not always necessary, or applicable, for everyone. Clinics must assess all patients individually and only suggest extra lab techniques which will make a difference in each unique set of circumstances.
