Re: Blast transfer
Blastocyst formation does not mean that embryos are normal. We are performing PGD and I noticed that chromosomally abnormal embryos might reach to blastocyst stage, even 3PN do so sometimes. Age, as mentioned before Endometrium thickness might also affect the implantation. As for the sperm, abnormalities in sperm such as (genes, chromosomes, centromere...)even if they were morphologically normal might also affect. Partcularly from OAT patients. It might be related to Y chromosome microdeletions. Hope this will help.

Re: flushing medium with or without heparin
Any UK clinician responding to this question should first read the recent HFEA alert about heparin. This was issued following alerts issued by the MHRA. Please note, UK clinics must login to the HFEA site to view this alert. www.hfea.gov.uk The MHRA alerts can be viewed here: http://www.mhra.gov.uk/Publications/Safetywarnings/Drugalerts/CON014890

Re: flushing medium with or without heparin
The presence of heparin only delays the clot formation for a small time, if you are screening the follicular aspirate at the same time then, probably you don\'t need it.
