Embryo pool, This is a method of collecting embryos obtained from multiple in-vitro fertilization (IVF) attempts and then evaluating them collectively. It is particularly used to increase the chances of pregnancy in women with low ovarian reserve.
Who is recommended to have an embryo pool?
Low ovarian reserve to the women who,
In old age to those with a limited number of eggs,
In previous IVF attempts for those for whom sufficient embryos cannot be obtained,
Genetic screening (PGT-A) For couples who are planning to marry.
👉 The aim is to increase the number of embryos for couples who cannot obtain a sufficient number of high-quality embryos in a single attempt.
How to Create an Embryo Pool?
Embryos obtained from the first in-vitro fertilization attempt frozen.
New embryos are added in subsequent attempts.
Once a sufficient number has been collected, all embryos are evaluated together.
Only the highest quality players are selected and transferred.
Advantages of Embryo Pool
It gives you a chance to choose from a larger number of embryos.
If genetic testing (PGT-A) is to be performed, it will be possible to collect a sufficient number of embryos.
The chances of success increase with single embryo transfer.
The probability of failure decreases.
Disadvantages of the Embryo Pool
The process takes time, and the couple needs to be patient.
More treatments mean more medication and more cost.
✨ Conclusion:
Embryo pooling is a method that increases success, especially in women with low ovarian reserve and in couples undergoing genetic screening. However, the process may not be suitable for every couple. Treatment plans must be tailored to each individual.
