Blastocyst showing poor morphology in cells of both components - the inner cell mass (at 6 to 9 o'clock) and the trophectoderm (the rest of the cells) |
Poor quality day 6 blastocyst |
These low quality blastocysts are shown to indicate that blastocyst culture is not a magic bullet for infertility. Most human embryos do not have the genetic potential to develop normally to the blastocyst stage, hatch from their shells, implant and continue normal development in order to result in a live birth.
