Each year, all IVF clinics in Australia and New Zealand submit their official results to ANZARD - a database that captures information about all facets of assisted reproduction. Once collated, the ANZARD data are made available.
Percentage of transfers involving blastocysts
ANZARD National Data 2005, table 12
What this graph shows:
While many embryos can survive 2 or 3 days, only the strongest will have the ability to develop into a blastocyst (day 5) and then a baby. Our world-leading success with blastocyst culture and implantation means that blastyocyst transfer is standard at Sydney IVF. This gives you the best chance of becoming pregnant and having a healthy baby.
