Embryo Culture- Dr Sarita Teotia

What is meant by embryo culture

During IVF treatment when embryo is implanted into the womb, it first needs to be cultured or developed for some time which extends from two to six days to make the resultant embryo fit for conception. This process is called embryo culture.

This range of two to six days encompasses the various stages of embryo transfer and embryogenesis. These stages are cleavage stage and blastocyst stage. Cleavage stage comes after the two to four days of incubation. At this stage embryos are there to be transferred into the womb. This stage allows cumulative clinical pregnancy rate higher. Next is the blastocyst stage that comes after five to seven days culture. Blastocyst stage certainly improves the pregnancy chances but at the same time there is great reduction in remaining number of embryos for cryopreservation or embryo transfer.

How embryo culture is done

Embryo can be cultured in two mediums- one is autologous endometrial coculture and other is artificial culture medium. For autologous culture, cells are extracted from the top layer of her own uterine lining, whereas artificial culture medium uses pyruvate, glucose and other energy-providing components in addition to nucleotides, vitamins, amino acids and cholesterol.

These two mediums can be applied each in isolation or in a sequential set.

What are the risk associated in embryo culture

There are no major deformities, problems or setbacks reported in humans so far. However some mild to severe difficulties are observed in animals.

Blastocyst transfer- Dr Sarita Teotia

Blastocysts are the incubated embryos after five or six day’s growth. Best quality embryos are selected and separated from the rest at this stage only. These separated high quality embryos are then cultured in the incubator. Out of these incubated embryos which were best amongst a lot, one or two are selected to be implanted in womb. These selected incubated embryos are blastocysts.

Pregnancy shall be successful only if these blastocysts stick themselves to the wall of womb after implantation. And this is the reason for implanting more than one blastocyst. So that atleast one of them attaches itself to the walls of womb.

Blastocyst transfer improves the IVF success rate. This works well with younger women with reasonable pregnancy probability and good quality embryos. Because, blastocyst transfer shall be successful only if embryos are of good quality. 

This process of blastocyst transfer helps achieving success in pregnancy because blastocysts are more robust and strengthened embryos of six days incubation than that of normal embryos of two or three day’s growth.

But as nothing in this world is infallible, so is the process of blastocyst. There are few setbacks and risks associated with it. Firstly, due to poor motility, sometimes embryos don’t show any development after day two when it reaches four cell stage. So it is not possible to incubate and select blastocyst. Next is that there are chances of as number of multiple births as number of blastocysts are transferred.
