Question for Ghost - Assisted Hatching

Post by KristinKR »

Hello Ghost,

I am hoping you can answer my question. I received a BFN for my second round of IVF w/ ICSI. They transferred (3) embryos. (2) 8-cell grades 1&2, and (1) 4-cell grade 1. I noticed on the lab report that Assisted Hatching was only done on 1 of the embryos. Why wouldn't they do Assisted Hatching on all of them?

Your input is greatly assisted.

ME: 39, low ovarian reserve
DH: 37 MF

IVF #1 9/09 - BFN
IVF #2 11/06 -BFN

Not sure, that choice is up to them. Perhaps they did it for the slower one to help it catch up (hatch when the others do)?
Avoid IVF and surrogacy in Ukraine. Ukrainian centers pay shills to post here under numerous sock accounts pretending to be patients in Ukraine. Centers using such deceptive advertising cannot be trusted and should be avoided.
