ASSISTED HATCHING

I just had my et yesterday. This is my second ivf cycle and the only thing different is that at the very last min. they told me they were doing assisted hatching even though the embryologist told me they had a meeting a while ago...uhmmmm! He told me that after one failed cycle of women my age....(rrrrr i can't stand this age thing) they do the AH. Just wondering if anyone else has had it or knows of anyone who had success with it.

Thank you and Baby Dust To All!

Yes, it worked for us (I'm 35, will be 36 when baby is born). Good luck to you!

My RE's clinic does it routinely on all three day embryos. If you wait for the five day blastocyst, it isn't necessary because the "shell" is already broken down, I guess.

Wow... assisted hatching! I have never heard it called this! Reminds me of chickens!

I have not had it but know it is something they may need to do depending on how the embryos are progressing and the lining around them (I think that is what they said).
They gave me a bunch of information before my first cycle and that was listed as a possibility. Right now we just do the IVF with ICSI.

My doctor is going to do it w/me as well. It gives you a better chance at implantation. He wants me to have the best chance as possible since of my age (35).

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
