About Embryoscope
Key Highlights
-
Continuous Monitoring: Provides 24/7 time-lapse imaging without disturbing the embryo's optimal culture conditions.Improved Embryo Selection: Allows embryologists to identify the most viable embryo based on precise developmental timelines and morphology.Enhanced IVF Success Rates: Studies show increased implantation and pregnancy rates compared to standard incubation.listrongReduced Embryo Handling:/strong Minimizes physical stress on embryos by eliminating daily removal from the incubator for assessment./lilistrongValuable Data for Future Cycles:/strong Provides detailed developmental records that can inform treatment decisions if additional IVF cycles are needed./li/ul
Who is this surgery for?
- Patients undergoing IVF treatment, especially those with previous unsuccessful IVF cycles.
- Cases of recurrent implantation failure where embryo quality is a suspected factor.
- Patients with a limited number of high-quality embryos, where optimal selection is critical.
- Advanced maternal age (typically over 35), where assessing embryo development dynamics is particularly important.
- Male factor infertility where embryo development patterns need closer observation.
- Unexplained infertility, to gain deeper insights into embryo viability.
How to prepare
- Standard IVF preparation, including ovarian stimulation and monitoring via blood tests and ultrasounds.
- Egg retrieval procedure is performed to collect oocytes for fertilization.
- Fertilization of eggs with sperm is done in the lab, either through conventional IVF or ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection).
- The resulting embryos are placed inside the specialized Embryoscope incubator for culture and monitoring.
- No additional physical preparation is required from the patient specifically for the Embryoscope monitoring itself.
Risks & possible complications
- The Embryoscope procedure itself carries no direct physical risk to the patient, as it is an incubator technology.
- Indirect risks are associated with the underlying IVF process (e.g., risks from ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval).
- There is a theoretical, though minimal, risk of increased light exposure to embryos, but specialized filters are used to mitigate this.
- As with all embryo selection methods, there remains a possibility that the selected embryo may not implant or result in a successful pregnancy.
- The technology does not guarantee a pregnancy; success depends on multiple factors including embryo genetics and uterine receptivity.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Recovery is from the egg retrieval procedure, not the Embryoscope monitoring. Patients may rest for a few hours post-retrieval.
- Mild cramping, bloating, or spotting may occur for 1-2 days after retrieval.
- Patients can typically resume normal, non-strenuous activities the following day.
- The embryology team analyzes the time-lapse data over 3-6 days to select the best embryo for transfer.
- A fresh or frozen embryo transfer is then scheduled, following standard post-transfer care instructions (e.g., light activity, prescribed medications like progesterone).
-
Typical hospital stay: 0 days (Outpatient procedure for egg retrieval)
-
Expected recovery time: 1-2 days (from egg retrieval)

Ayaan Miller, 34, is a software...
Ayaan Miller, 34, is a software engineer who was diagnosed with azoospermia (absence of sperm) due to a genetic condition. After a successful surgical sperm retrieval, he and his wife, 32, underwent three rounds of conventional IVF, each resulting in embryo arrest before day 3. Their fertility specialist, Dr. Evans, recommended the Embryoscope for their next cycle. The time-lapse imaging provided continuous monitoring of embryo development without disturbing the culture environment. For Ayaan, the most profound moment was receiving a video clip showing their embryo's cell divisions. The Embryoscope identified a chromosomally normal embryo with ideal developmental timing, which was transferred. Two weeks later, a positive pregnancy test confirmed success. Ayaan's journey shifted from feeling like a passive observer in a process of repeated failure to an engaged participant, empowered by visual evidence of their embryo's resilience, finally allowing cautious hope to replace despair.
