What makes an embryo good?

The quality of an embryo is a crucial factor in determining its suitability for transfer.

Several factors contribute to the evaluation and the decision on which one is suitable depends on them, but also on the good work of the embryologist team and the individual circumstances of the patient. Some of the most important are the following.

• Cell development

Good quality embryos should have reached certain milestones of cell division at specific times. For example, too slow or too early division could lead to poor development.

• Morphology

The shape and structure of the embryo are important. Good quality embryos should have an adequate appearance, with an adequate number and distribution of cells.

• Fragmentation

Fragmentation refers to the presence of cell fragments. A high degree of fragmentation may be indicative of inferior quality.

• Symmetry

Symmetrical embryos are generally considered to be of better quality.

The final decision on which embryo to transfer into the uterus is based on a complete evaluation of all of these factors. The goal is to maximize the chances of a successful pregnancy.

To optimize this selection process at IGIN we have cutting-edge technology:KIDSCore IDASCore. Inteligencia Artificial y algoritmos morfocinéticos. Estas herramientas analizan cada uno de los embriones de la paciente, contrastándolos con información recopilada de millones de embriones de todo el mundo, y relacionan sus patrones de desarrollo con su capacidad de implantación. Esto ayuda a nuestro equipo de laboratorio a elegir el embrión más prometedor en términos de potencial evolutivo.

We apply these cutting-edge systems in all reproduction techniques that require culture: IVF-ICSI, egg donation, ROPA method or Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis. And we do it at no additional cost.
