Description
|
Day 4 compacting human embryo. |
|
Comment
|
While many programmes transfer embryos on day 2 or day 3, increasingly IVF programmes are continuing to culture embryos to day 5 or 6. On day 4, about 90-96 hours post fertilisation, the embryo should have completed compaction. Compaction is the process whereby interaction between the blastomeres is elevated with many gap junctions forming a sealed environment. The cell definition is lost and the shape appears globular and indistinct. |
