Laser Assisted Hatching
A gentle breakthrough - IVF Laser assisted hatching in Mumbai
Imagine a gentle yet powerful laser beam, precisely creating a microscopic opening in the outer shell of an embryo, aiding its natural ability to hatch and attach to the uterine lining. This innovative laser assisted hatching is beneficial for couples facing fertility challenges, offering renewed hope in their journey toward parenthood.
With science and precision working together, Rotunda CHR’s laser assisted hatching paves the way for new beginnings with a microscopic breakthrough.
What is laser assisted hatching?
Laser assisted hatching is an innovative technique in assisted reproductive technology that improves the chance of successful embryo implantation. In IVF, a fertilized egg cannot guarantee pregnancy. When the embryo is transferred to a woman’s uterus, it needs to implant on the wall of the uterus for a successful pregnancy. Sometimes, it fails to hatch, resulting in IVF failure.
Laser assisted hatching is a technique that makes a small crack in the outer layer of the embryo, enabling it to hatch out from the protective shell and improving the chance of successful pregnancy.
When do you need laser hatching in IVF?
If you’re undergoing IVF, it doesn’t mean that doctors recommend assisted laser hatching. After analyzing your medical records and infertility history, our IVF specialist at Rotunda CHR determines whether laser hatching is beneficial for your pregnancy.
Who is an ideal candidate for the laser hatching process?
Laser assisted hatching is best suited for people,
- Above 35 years or advanced maternal age
- High levels of follicle-stimulating hormone or FSH
- Poor embryo quality
- Endometriosis - where cells from the uterine lining appear outside the uterus
- Previous unsuccessful IVF cycles
- Couples diagnosed with thick embryo outer shell or zona pellucida
Older women and women with high levels of FSH produce eggs with thicker outer shells. Here, eggs fail to hatch and attach to the womb. In such cases, assisted laser hatching resolves these fertility issues. It’s important to discuss this with your IVF specialist before undergoing the laser treatment.
Laser hatching process - Embryo implantation with laser technology
The laser hatching process is done on the third day when the embryo is still in the laboratory. It’s a simple two-step process,
STEP 1 - Light Pulsing
The laser hatching process is performed individually for each embryo. A specialized laser light is used to create a small opening in the embryo's zona pellucida or outer layer. Even though it sounds simple, the process requires the utmost precision with specialized instruments. Moreover, the laser shots are given with ultimate delicacy to ensure that heat doesn’t enter the embryo cells.
STEP 2 - Implantation
The process takes only a few seconds. In the next step, the embryos are transferred to the woman’s uterus. The embryo will implant in the uterus lining and develop successfully.
What are the benefits of laser hatching in IVF?
IVF laser assisted hatching offers several benefits for couples in their fertility journey,
- Chance of successful embryo implantation : Increase the implantation rate by allowing embryos to hatch from their outer shell and attach to the uterus.
- Beneficial for specific patients :The assisted laser hatching treatment is beneficial for people with failed IVF cycles, thick embryo outer layer, and aged over 37 years.
- Success rate in frozen embryo transfer : Laser hatching increases the chance of pregnancy in frozen embryo transfer.
- Improved pregnancy outcomes : Patients undergoing laser-assisted hatching experience higher pregnancy rates.
What are the risks of laser hatching in IVF?
When performed by experienced embryologists at Rotunda CHR, laser hatching has reduced the risk of complications. The procedure is safer than assisted hatching using an acidic solution or mechanical force. However, the possible risks include,
- Embryo damage : If the laser hatching process is not done precisely, it could damage the embryo. In such cases, embryos fail to hatch and won’t result in pregnancy.
- Multiple pregnancies : Generally, IVF has the risk of multiple pregnancies; Laser assisted hatching will increase the chance further.
Laser assisted hatching success rates
The success rates of laser-assisted hatching vary based on the individual patient factors, the quality of the embryos, and the expertise of the professionals. According to the reports, assisted laser hatching has a 30% to 50% success rate. In some instances, it has a 65% success rate.
What is the laser hatching cost in Mumbai?
In Mumbai, the laser hatching cost depends on the clinic’s reputation, the expertise of the IVF specialist, and additional services if required. A few places offer comprehensive packages that include pre-implantation genetic testing, embryo freezing, or fertility medications, which can influence the overall cost.
