What Are the Advantages of Blastocyst Transfer?
Because blastocysts are a more advanced and select group of embryos and more likely to implant, the fertility specialists of IVF New Jersey are able to transfer only two in order to achieve the same or higher pregnancy rates we would expect from transferring three, four, or more three-day-old embryos. This reduces the probability of triplets, and all but eliminates the chance of a quadruplet pregnancy. (Because a blastocyst can divide into an identical twin, there is still a very small possibility that two blastocysts could result in a triplet or quadruplet pregnancy.) Because a blastocyst transfer is more likely to implant, there is still a high likelihood of a twin pregnancy being established when two blastocysts are transferred.
