I got 18 oocytes picked-up in Sep’15, out of which 12 became zygotes (10 were Normal, 1 Abnormal and 1 Degenerated). We used Embryoscope in order to pick the best embryos to use; it is a time-lapse system for observation of embryo development under necessary physiological conditions required by a living embryo while they are in the IVF laboratory. This service was offered at Rs.15000 in Sep’15. Each DS sample came for a price of Rs.5000.
Since we were using ADI/DS, we used two different blood group samples instead of the universal "one sample" rule. That idea was Dr. Rashmi Yogish’s… I told you, “she knows her stuff really well”.
Out of 12 zygotes, 11 were observed under Embryoscope for at least 5 days. Nova Bangalore did share a video with us, showing the growth of each zygote for 100 hours in a fast-forward mode. 4 embryos were cryopreserved (3 were Day-5 and 1 Day-6), which were of Cavitated Blastocyst (CB) & Hatching Blastocyst (iHB) cell state. Two cryotops were used to store the two blood types separately.
I was given a month’s break to get my hormones back to normal state,
skipping a Fresh Transfer in the same cycle. Next month was action-packed.
