If it were possible, the ideal would be to always perform the blastocyst culture. Over 5- days of culture, we will assess all the embryonic events that must happen (cleavage, compaction, blastulation etc), these allow a better embryo selection, which translates into a higher rate of implantation and pregnancy. If we also apply time-lapse technology, we will obtain more information for an even better embryo selection.
