Boosting Your IVF Success with Laser Assisted Hatching (LAH) at Parency IVF

How Does LAH Work?

LAH is a technique used to amplify the chances of successful implantation and pregnancy for individuals undergoing IVF treatment. It involves numerous steps which are mentioned below:-

• Preparation:
  • The embryos are typically grown in a laboratory for a few days after fertilisation during the IVF process.
• Laser Application:
  • A precise laser is used to create tiny openings or slits in the outer layer of the embryo, known as the Zona Pellucida.
  • These openings are carefully made to assist the embryo in hatching or breaking through its protective shell.
• Facilitating Hatching:
  • By creating these openings, the embryos are better able to hatch out of their Zona Pellucida when they reach the uterus.
  • This process mimics what would naturally occur when an embryo reaches the blastocyst stage and prepares to implant into the uterine lining.
• Enhancing Implantation:
  • The goal of LAH is to improve the chances of successful implantation of the embryo in the uterine lining.
  • With easier access to the uterine wall, the embryo has a higher likelihood of attaching and developing into a pregnancy.
• Selective Application:
  • LAH is not performed on all embryos and is typically reserved for cases where it may benefit the implantation process.
  • The decision to use LAH is made by Fertility experts based on factors such as the quality of the embryos and the individual's medical history.
• Monitoring and Transfer:
  • After the LAH procedure, the embryos are monitored for further development in the laboratory.
  • Once they reach the appropriate stage, one or more embryos may be selected for transfer into the uterus during an IVF procedure.
