Embryo Selection

Embryo selection is a process used in assisted reproductive technologies like in vitro fertilization (IVF) to choose the healthiest embryos for implantation into the uterus. After eggs are fertilized in a lab, embryos develop for several days before being evaluated. Various criteria—such as genetic health, growth rate, and morphology—help doctors identify embryos with the best chance of leading to a successful pregnancy. This careful selection aims to increase the likelihood of a healthy baby while reducing the risk of complications or genetic disorders.
