Blastocyst transfer is an advanced IVF technique widely used in Bangalore fertility centers. In this method, embryos are allowed to develop in the laboratory until they reach the blastocyst stage (around day 5 or 6) before being transferred into the woman’s uterus. The blastocyst stage represents a more mature phase of embryo development compared to the earlier cleavage stage, improving the chances of implantation and pregnancy.
1. Ovarian Stimulation & Egg Retrieval
The treatment begins with ovarian stimulation using fertility medications to develop multiple mature eggs. Once ready, the eggs are retrieved through a minor surgical procedure called egg retrieval.
2. Fertilization
The retrieved eggs are fertilized with sperm in the IVF lab. This may be done through conventional IVF or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), depending on individual needs.
3. Embryo Culture
The fertilized embryos are placed in a specialized culture medium. Over the next 5–6 days, embryologists monitor their growth until they reach the blastocyst stage.
4. Blastocyst Selection
Not all embryos grow to the blastocyst stage. Embryologists in our Bangalore IVF lab carefully assess embryo quality—looking at cell number, symmetry, and inner cell mass—to select the healthiest blastocysts for transfer.
5. Blastocyst Transfer
The chosen blastocysts are transferred into the uterus using a thin catheter guided by ultrasound. The procedure is usually painless and does not require anesthesia. The number of blastocysts transferred depends on age, embryo quality, and medical guidelines.
6. Freezing Remaining Blastocysts
Any additional high-quality blastocysts can be frozen for future IVF cycles, reducing the need for repeat stimulation and retrieval.
Higher success rates: Blastocyst transfer allows embryologists to choose embryos with stronger implantation potential.
Reduced risk of multiple pregnancies: Transferring fewer but healthier blastocysts lowers the chance of complications.
Advanced lab technology in Bangalore: Fertility centers in Bangalore use world-class incubators and monitoring systems.
Better embryo selection: Extended culture helps identify embryos most likely to result in pregnancy.
However, not all embryos reach the blastocyst stage, and the treatment plan is personalized based on each couple’s fertility condition.
If you are considering IVF, blastocyst transfer in Bangalore may improve your chances of a successful pregnancy. Speak with a fertility specialist at Samrudh fertility in Bangalore to understand whether this option suits your situation.

A thorough evaluation involving medical history, physical exams, and diagnostic tests to identify causes of infertility in both partners. This helps tailor personalized treatment plans to improve chances of conception
Medical treatment using fertility drugs to stimulate the ovaries to release eggs regularly, especially helpful for women with irregular or absent ovulation. It is often combined with timed intercourse or intrauterine insemination to enhance pregnancy chances
Minimally invasive surgical procedures used to diagnose and treat conditions like endometriosis, fibroids, polyps, and adhesions that may impair fertility. These surgeries help restore normal reproductive anatomy and improve fertility outcomes
Comprehensive assessment including semen analysis, hormone testing, and sometimes genetic screening to identify issues affecting sperm quality, quantity, or function. Advanced techniques like sperm DNA fragmentation tests and micro-TESE may be used for diagnosis and treatment planning
In vitro fertilization (IVF) involves fertilizing eggs with sperm in a lab, while intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) injects a single sperm directly into an egg, often used for severe male infertility. The resulting embryos are cultured and then transferred to the uterus to achieve pregnancy
A procedure where previously frozen embryos from an IVF cycle are thawed and transferred into the uterus to establish pregnancy. This allows multiple attempts at pregnancy without undergoing full ovarian stimulation again
Because blastocysts are more developed, they have a higher chance of implantation compared to earlier-stage embryos.
We are dedicated to helping pregnant women and their families after a significant birth defect or genetic condition has been detected. Specialists from both obstetrics and pediatrics work together as a team to determine the best way to care for you and your unborn baby, both during and after your pregnancy.
Whenever possible, we create an integrated appointment plan, so that you can meet with the multiple subspecialists involved in your case. Some patients come here for a second opinion and go back to their obstetrician. Other patients transfer their care to Columbia as their delivery date approaches to make sure their baby immediately receives the necessary specialized pediatric care after birth.
Couples with multiple good-quality embryos or those with previous failed IVF cycles are often advised for blastocyst transfer.
Yes, high-quality blastocysts not transferred can be cryopreserved for future IVF cycles.
A blood test (beta hCG) is usually done 10–12 days after transfer to confirm pregnancy.
Many fertility centers in Bangalore offer blastocyst transfer with advanced labs and experienced embryologists. Samrudh Fertility is one of them with high success rates, expertise, and personalized care.
