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'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
