Laser-Assisted Hatching
Laser-Assisted Hatching at Chawla IVF Centre
What is Laser-Assisted Hatching?
Laser-assisted hatching is an advanced technique used in conjunction with in vitro fertilization (IVF) to enhance the implantation of embryos. During this process, a laser is used to thin or create a small opening in the zona pellucida (the outer layer surrounding the embryo). This helps the embryo hatch more easily and increases the chances of successful implantation in the uterine lining, thereby improving the likelihood of pregnancy.

The Laser-Assisted Hatching Procedure
Initial Consultation and Assessment: Your journey begins with a thorough consultation with one of our fertility specialists. During this visit, we will review your medical history, discuss your fertility challenges, and determine if laser-assisted hatching is an appropriate option for you.
Preparation for IVF Cycle: If laser-assisted hatching is recommended, it will be integrated into your IVF treatment plan. You will receive detailed instructions on how to prepare for your IVF cycle, including medication protocols and lifestyle recommendations.
IVF Procedure: During the IVF process, eggs are retrieved from the ovaries and fertilized with sperm in the laboratory to create embryos. These embryos are then cultured for a few days to reach the appropriate stage for transfer.
Laser-Assisted Hatching: Before the embryo transfer, our specialists will use a precise laser to thin or create a small opening in the zona pellucida of selected embryos. This step is performed under a high-powered microscope to ensure accuracy and safety.
Embryo Transfer: After the laser-assisted hatching, the embryos are carefully transferred into the uterus. This is a quick and painless procedure, and you will be monitored for a short period before being allowed to go home.
Post-Procedure Care and Follow-Up: Following the embryo transfer, you will receive instructions on post-procedure care and medications. Regular follow-up appointments and monitoring will be scheduled to assess the success of the implantation and pregnancy progression.
