HOW MANY EMBRYOS WILL CONTINUE TO GROW FURTHER AFTER 48 HOURS?
Only 30-50% of the embryos have the potential to grow to more advanced stage called the blastocyst by the 4th and the 5th day. There are many variable factors which can affect this like patient’s age, diagnosis of infertility, quality of eggs, sperm and embryos. Sometimes none of the embryos will reach blastocyst stage resulting in cancellation of embryo transfer. The culture conditions also affect the blastocyst development.
