 Amy:

We will grow them for 5 days and embryos

that make it to a blastocyst will be frozen. It 

is common to loose some. Average amount  

of embryos frozen is 3-5

 

 A blastocyst is a cluster of dividing cells made by a fertilized egg. It's the early stage of an embryo. A blastocyst is one step among many that lead to a pregnancy. A blastocyst forms about five to six days after a sperm fertilizes an egg. Layers of cells in the blastocyst divide and separate.
