Assisted Hatching Treatment in Bangalore
Facing repeated IVF failures or difficulty with embryo implantation? Assisted Hatching is an advanced laboratory technique that helps embryos implant more easily into the uterus, improving pregnancy chances. At Vriksh Fertility, we use precision-based embryology techniques and advanced lab technology to support successful implantation.
The Assisted Hatching Journey
Precision support for implantation. Assisted Hatching is performed as part of the IVF process to enhance embryo implantation.
Consultation & Evaluation
Assessment of previous IVF cycles and implantation history.
IVF Cycle & Embryo Development
Egg retrieval, fertilization, and embryo culture.
Assisted Hatching Procedure
A small opening is created in the embryo's outer layer (zona pellucida).
Embryo Transfer
The embryo is placed into the uterus.
Implantation Support
Monitoring and medications to support pregnancy.
What is Assisted Hatching?
Assisted Hatching is a laboratory procedure where a small opening is made in the outer shell of the embryo (zona pellucida) to help it "hatch" and attach to the uterine lining. It helps embryos break out of their outer shell, improves implantation chances, and supports embryos with thicker outer layers. This technique is used in specific cases to increase the likelihood of successful pregnancy during IVF.
