What is the difference between an embryo, morula, and a blastocyst transfer?

New Page 0
Embryo Transfer: An embryo transfer is done 2 or 3 days after retrieval. A day 2 embryo usually contains anywhere from 2-4 cells. A day 3 embryo is usually around 8-10 cells in size. Morula Transfer: A morula transfer is done 4 days after retrieval. Morula transfers are not as common as embryo or blastocyst transfers. A Morula usually contains at least 30 cells, but as the cell numbers increase the morula compacts and the cell borders become less distinguishable.

How do they get the cells out of the embryo?

Genetics & IVF Institute
Embryos created in an IVF cycle are cultured in the laboratory for 3 days. By this time they contain approximately 8 cells. Each embryo at this point is called a blastomere. Embryos with normal development on Day 3 will have one or two cells removed for testing in a procedure called a biopsy. The embryos are placed under a powerful microscope and very tiny glass instruments are guided to make a small cut in the zona pellucida, (a tough outer membrane holding the embryo together).
