Question 1

Do all retrieved oocytes become embryos?

Accepted Answer

No. Some oocytes may be immature, and not every mature oocyte fertilizes normally.

Question 2

Do all fertilized oocytes reach the blastocyst stage?

Accepted Answer

No. Embryos must pass through several developmental stages, and some may stop developing before reaching blastocyst.

Question 3

What happens when an embryo reaches blastocyst?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the treatment plan, a suitable blastocyst may be considered for transfer, vitrification or biopsy for PGT-A.

Question 4

What if only a small number of embryos develop?

Accepted Answer

The result is interpreted alongside ovarian response, oocyte maturity and fertilization. This information may help determine whether to proceed with transfer, consider embryo banking or adjust a future strategy.

Question 5

Does reaching blastocyst guarantee pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

No. Blastocyst development is an important milestone, but it cannot guarantee implantation, pregnancy or live birth.
