Assisted Hatching Services in Lucknow
IVF failure is a frustrating experience for both individuals and couples, and it frequently results from an embryo that does not successfully implant in the uterus. At Malti Clinic in Lucknow, Dr Pratibha Singh provides expert assisted hatching services to improve IVF outcomes.
Your fertility specialist may suggest assisted hatching if you've had multiple unsuccessful IVF cycles or have a poor prognosis for IVF.
What exactly is assisted hatching?
The zona pellucida, a layer of proteins, surrounds the embryo during the early stages of development. An embryo must break through the zona pellucida (a process called hatching) and adhere to the uterine walls in order to properly implant into the uterine lining. Embryos with a thin zona pellucida have a better likelihood of implantation during IVF.
The role of assisted hatching in IVF is to aid the process of embryo hatching, thereby increasing the chances of implantation. Under a microscope, an embryologist uses a laser on the zona pellucida to make a small opening for better hatching, facilitating embryo implantation.

Will the success rate of IVF be improved by assisted hatching?
