The benefits of using morphokinetics in terms of improving clinical outcomes of IVF is still very unclear. [9] A meta-analysis published in 2017, supported the idea of clinical benefits of time-lapse culture with morphokinetic embryo selection in IVF, reporting reduced early pregnancy loss, higher ongoing pregnancy and higher live birth rates.

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a process of fertilization in which an egg is combined with sperm in vitro ("in glass"). The process involves monitoring and stimulating a woman's ovulatory process, then removing an ovum or ova (egg or eggs) from her ovaries and enabling a man's sperm to fertilise them in a culture medium in a laboratory.
A fresh embryo transfer IVF cycle lasts around 17–20 days and 10 days after the embryo is transferred to wait for the results of a pregnancy test. [14] A frozen embryo transfer first involves one of the cycles dedicated to the genetic mother. The second cycle is dedicated to the carrier mother.
A California fertility clinic is under fire after it mistakenly implanted a couple's embryo into a stranger who lived on the other side of the country. IVF mixup leads to wrong woman giving birth ...
Freezing embryos for IVF became standard practice after the development of vitrification, a fast-freezing process that is safer for the embryo. While there’s still a risk of damage during the ...
IVF allows doctors to test embryos for genetic abnormalities, then implant only the ones that are healthy. The Goidels were on track to freeze embryos later this month, and they planned to only ...
The majority of IVF-conceived infants do not have birth defects. [13] However, some studies have suggested that assisted reproductive technology is associated with an increased risk of birth defects. [14] [15] Artificial reproductive technology is becoming more available. Early studies suggest that there could be an increased risk for medical ...
Repeated implantation failure (RIF) is the repeated failure of the embryo to implant onto the side of the uterus wall following IVF treatment. [1] Implantation happens at 6–7 days after conception and involves the embedding of the growing embryo into the mothers uterus and a connection being formed. [ 2 ]
