Direct Warming Frozen Embryo Transfer Outcomes in Assisted Reproductive Technology

This intervention involves thawing vitrified blastocysts using a simplified, one-step direct warming method. The blastocyst is placed in a pre-warmed embryo culture medium for approximately one minute, then transferred directly into the embryo culture medium within a time-lapse system until ready for uterine transfer. The total thawing process takes approximately three minutes, reducing the duration and complexity of the procedure compared to conventional methods.

This intervention involves thawing vitrified blastocysts using a standard, multi-step process. The procedure includes sequential exposure of the blastocyst to different thawing solutions containing varying concentrations of cryoprotectants, followed by its transfer into an embryo culture medium in a time-lapse system. The overall process takes approximately 10-30 minutes.
