How does blastocyst transfer impact the number of embryos transferred?

Blastocyst transfer significantly impacts the number of embryos transferred during an IVF cycle. By allowing embryos to develop until the blastocyst stage, embryologists can accurately assess their quality and select the healthiest embryos for transfer. This process enables them to transfer fewer embryos while maintaining high success rates. The ability to transfer single embryo reduces the risk of multiple pregnancies, which is associated with increased complications for both the mother and the babies. Blastocyst transfer provides individuals and couples a more controlled and safer approach to achieving a successful pregnancy.
