Blastocyst transfer: evidence from 36 trials

What was investigated and what was found?

The Cochrane review found probable benefit for live birth after fresh blastocyst transfer. Cumulative evidence was less certain; failure to reach transfer and preterm birth also matter.

Interpreting the findings

Patient groups, methods and bias risks can differ across studies. A pooled estimate is not a personal treatment recommendation or a guarantee of benefit.

How can you prepare for a consultation?

Bring your embryo-development report, transfer day and previous pregnancy outcomes. Discuss with Prof. Dr. Mehmet Çolakoğlu what laboratory findings mean for your own treatment decisions.
