I heard that some people did assisted hatching with their IVF or FET. I know that most of people will do anything reasonable to get pregnant. I’m trying to collect some info that might benefit most of us.
My questions are:
- Will assisted hatching help implantation?
- Who, in what situations, are good candidates for assisted hatching?
- if we have 2-3 embryos to transfer, can we do 1 or 2 embryos assisted hatching, and the last one without hatching?
Anyone else has done assisted hatching or planning to do assisted hatching?Any info or insights are welcome.
Thanks.
Below are answers to your question
1. Although AH is still controversal, our own data showed that it may help embryo to implant. I feel that you may consider trying it. At least, there is no harm in a experienced operator’s hand.
2. Women older than 35, or one with repeated failure of implantation
3. Yes, you may do both.
Good luck,

I have done AH and it worked for me. I was 36 when I got pregnant. I have a precious daughter now. It is said that the outter core around the embryo might thicken and harden with age and so it needs a bit of help to get out and implant.
I would do AH for them all, give the best chance to all the embryos. I did so.
Good luck!
I am on my 3rd IVF and now in the 2 wk waiting period. This last one is AH so fingers crossed 3 implanted and I will let you know the outcome. The Dr. recommended due to my age 39 and repeated failures last 2 attempts.
