Assisted Hatching

Assisted Hatching (AH) The assisted hatching procedure is a micromanipulation technique that was developed to facilitate the “hatching” of the developing embryos from the zona pellucida, or outer cellular membrane. The rationale for this technique came from the observation that embryos that had a thin zona pellucida had a higher rate of implantation during In [...]

Auto-Immune Factors

Treatment of Auto-Immune Factors Some women are infertile due to auto-immune or alloimmune factors which inhibit conception and/or embryo implantation. The PRC Team has experience in successfully treating women at risk with a regimen of low dose heparin, steroids, aspirin, as well as i.v. intralipids. Because heparin is strongly negatively charged and has a high [...]
