Our fertility center got more and more patients with over than 43 years old. For me, the challenge not handling the embryo from retrieval to D5. It's how to increase implantation rate and decrease miscarriages happen. Although we have great blastocyst formation rate, but it doesn't mean the embryos are successful at becoming blastocysts with normal chromosome. That's the reason even patients are transferred with gorgeous blastocyst, sometimes they still cannot get pregnant or miscarriage happen.
It's a really cool improvement of our lab, and I am so proud of our team work. We are moving to test not only 5 chromosome but ALL the chromsome embryos have. I know it's gonna takes more work for us, but I am looking forward to see more and more elder patients have good result.

Amazing IVM
People they do conventional IVF never care about immature eggs,cuz they have lots of eggs and it's not necessary to culture immature egg. But we do, Natural cycle IVF without any medication occasionally the egg ovulated earlier then we retrival. So the only one "big" "mature" egg gone, and the little one should be raise up, thats what embryo-sitter's responsibility.
This gorgeous blastocyst come from 42 years old patient's GV egg, "GV" means very very very immature egg. Fortunately, after 24 hours culture, the egg become mature and 5 days later it grew up to blastocyst. That's cool!
