Your Sperm, Eggs, and Embryos:
Journey Through the IVF Laboratory

With Diane D. Kyle, MS, GS (ABB), Clinical Embryologist,
Massachusetts General Hospital Fertility Center

The care and development of your gametes (sperm and egg), and embryos in the IVF laboratory is a significant component of your IVF cycle. This program will help you understand what goes on behind the scenes as embryologists make critical decisions regarding your embryos, to ensure your greatest individual chances for success.

Topics that will be highlighted include: interpreting your fertilization results (whether you have had ICSI or conventional insemination), cleavage-stage development, and blastocyst development. Common concerns will be addressed such as: Why did I have a day-2 or day-3 transfer? What is assisted hatching, and why is it a part of my cycle? How do you determine whether I have a day-3 or day-5 blastocyst transfer? Why were none of my embryos frozen following my embryo transfer?

Attendance limited to 20 people.
