Embryo Assisted Hatching (AH) in Boca Raton & Aventura

What Is Assisted Hatching & How Does It Work?

If you are currently seeking advice and information on the most effective forms of ART (assisted reproductive technology) procedures, our team at Palm Beach Fertility Center can help. One of the most effective methods Dr. Denker uses is called assisted hatching (AH). This procedure gives embryos assistance in the hatching process by helping embryos hatch by breaking their enveloping protective layer. Some embryos have a hard time hatching, which is an important step to implant an embryo successfully. We often use assisted hatching in the in-vitro fertilization (IVF) process.

When Is Assisted Hatching Helpful?

The blastocyst is held with gentle suction, while a tiny needle delivers an acid solution that wears away an area of the outer shell (the zona pellucida). This helps the embryo "hatch" out of the shell and implant in the uterine wall. Shortly after the procedure, the embryo is transferred to the uterus.

Assisted hatching is often recommended for the following circumstances:

• Couples who have had unsuccessful IVF cycles
• Where the female partner is over 37
• Where the female partner has high FSH levels
• Where there are poor quality embryos
• Where the embryos have thick shells
