NABH Accredited ISAR Certified 30+ Years Experience Free Consultation
At Javitri Hospital, blastocyst culture takes place inside the first Embryoscope centre in Uttar Pradesh, giving our embryologists the deepest insight into each embryo before transfer. As a result, only the most viable blastocyst is selected for your embryo transfer.

Blastocyst culture and transfer is an IVF technique where embryos are grown for 5–6 days until they reach the blastocyst stage. Only the strongest embryos survive to Day 5, resulting in better implantation rates compared to Day 3 transfers.
At Javitri Hospital, blastocyst culture uses our Embryoscope incubator, the first in UP, photographing every embryo every 15 minutes without disturbance. Consequently, the embryo chosen for transfer has a complete developmental record, not just a single Day 5 snapshot.

Standard Approach
Advanced, Higher Implantation
Not sure whether Day 3 or Day 5 is right for your cycle? Our embryologists will advise you clearly based on your embryo development on the day.
Each cycle is personalised. Consequently, your exact timeline may vary, your specialist confirms every step before it happens.
Hormone medications prepare the uterine lining. A baseline scan confirms adequate thickness before transfer is scheduled.
On Day 5, our embryologist reviews the Embryoscope record. Subsequently, the highest-potential blastocyst is selected.
The chosen blastocyst is loaded into a fine, soft catheter in the lab immediately before the transfer procedure begins.
Under ultrasound guidance, the catheter is guided through the cervix and the blastocyst is released. A painless 5–10 minute procedure.
Luteal support medications begin. A beta-hCG blood test 14 days later confirms whether the blastocyst has implanted successfully.
Heavy bleeding, severe pain, high fever, or difficulty breathing after embryo transfer. When in doubt, always call, we are available.

First Embryoscope Centre in Uttar Pradesh
Standard labs remove embryos daily to assess them, briefly disturbing temperature, oxygen, and CO₂. The Embryoscope keeps embryos sealed and stable, photographing each one every 15 minutes instead.
As a result, our embryologists see every cell division from Day 1 to Day 5, data that fundamentally improves blastocyst selection for embryo transfer.
Our internationally trained specialists bring global expertise to Lucknow’s best IVF hospital, combining decades of experience with cutting-edge reproductive medicine.
All three centres are equipped with advanced fertility labs, dedicated consultation rooms, and experienced fertility specialists, so you can receive world-class care close to home.

Get DirectionBlastocyst culture and transfer is an IVF technique where embryos are grown for 5–6 days until they reach the blastocyst stage. Only the strongest embryos survive to Day 5 — providing a higher-quality embryo and better implantation rates than Day 3 transfers.
A Day 3 embryo is at the 6–8 cell stage. In contrast, a Day 5 blastocyst has hundreds of cells and has undergone natural self-selection — consequently resulting in higher implantation rates per embryo transferred.
The blastocyst is loaded into a fine catheter and guided gently into the uterus under ultrasound. The procedure takes 5–10 minutes, requires no sedation, and mild cramping afterwards is normal.
Mild cramping, light spotting, and fatigue are all normal after embryo transfer — they do not indicate a failed cycle. A beta-hCG blood test at Day 14 confirms pregnancy. Avoid home tests before then — they are unreliable.
Blastocyst culture is most beneficial for patients with multiple good Day 3 embryos, previous IVF failures, those requiring PGT/PGD genetic testing, older patients (35+), and those choosing single embryo transfer.
Not always. If only 1–2 embryos are available on Day 3, extended culture risks leaving nothing to transfer. However, when multiple embryos are growing well, blastocyst culture provides significant selection advantages — our embryologists advise you individually.
The Embryoscope photographs embryos every 15 minutes without removing them — keeping the environment perfectly stable. The resulting time-lapse record reveals developmental patterns that predict which blastocysts have the highest implantation potential.
Yes — surplus blastocysts are vitrified with near-complete survival rates. They can subsequently be used in a Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) cycle without repeating ovarian stimulation, so no good embryo is wasted.
Blastocyst culture takes 5–6 days after egg retrieval; the transfer procedure itself takes 5–10 minutes. The complete IVF cycle from stimulation to pregnancy blood test takes approximately 5–6 weeks.
Javitri Hospital is the first Embryoscope centre in UP, uses RI Witness electronic lab safety, holds NABH, ISAR, and ISO certifications, and is led by Dr. Rajul Tyagi — 30+ years of embryo transfer expertise, trained at Cleveland Clinic and UCL London.
