Assisted Hatching ?

twistsandturnsto2

Can someone please explain this to me? We will be doing it for our next FET and I sort of get the idea behind it, but not necessarily the reasoning. We have always had great looking embies, but after 2 c/p from fresh cycles and 1 bfn from our frozen, only now are they suggesting this. I wish I would have asked more questions, I was just at a loss as to what exactly I should ask. Thanks Ladies!

As far as I know, if you have some kind of issue with implantation, they will want to do that. This is not the only reason, of course. If the 'shell' of the embie looks thick, is another reason, because it would be more difficult to 'hatch'. My clinic does this automatically, and we had lovely embryos. You should probably call to see what specific quality of your embryos is causing them to go down that road. My first ivf, I was told that my eggs were good but squishy.

Our clinic does AH for all FET cycles. We weren't given a choice.

I am a FIRM believer in assisted hatching. We did it this round and gor our bfp. It basically pokes a very small hole around the shell of the blast and that way the blast doesn't have to work as hard to hatch. Sometimes the blast fully hatches before the et which is great and which is what happened to us. Good luck to you.

my clinic also does assisted hatching on all frozen embryos...hopefully it brings me a BFP!
