Blastocyst Transfer Programme

A blastocyst refers to the embryo at an advanced stage (5-6 days after fertilisation in humans). A Blastocyst Transfer Programme refers to a specific Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) method where embryos are cultured until the blastocyst stage before they are implanted into the uterine lining.

By doing this, high-quality blastocysts can be selected for transfer, which entail higher implantation rates and an improved selection of embryos for a successful pregnancy.
