Day 1. The patient will receive a call on this day to receive her Fertilization Report from an Embryologist. The call will come approximately between the hours of 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. The patient will also be able to ask questions regarding the cycle.
How can the embryologist know if fertilization has occurred?
The embryologist is looking for evidence of 2 nuclei (pn) – one from the egg and one from the sperm (image below; yellow arrows pointing to the two nuclei). This is how we determine if normal fertilization has occurred.
How long does it typically take to reach the blastocyst stage?
The embryo divides and multiplies its cells over 5 to 6 days to become a blastocyst. Embryos that survive to this stage of development have a high implantation potential once transferred into the uterine cavity.
