Embryo transfer is like putting a raisin into a peanut butter sandwich. If you pick up the sandwich the raisin won’t fall out. (Thus neither will your embryo if you walk, squat, pee etc)

The embryo then expands like a balloon , getting bigger and bigger until it is able to hatch out of its shell

Fragmentation! A bit like cutting a cake - sometimes it’s a clean break and ends with 2 perfect slices (cell division), sometimes it results in lots of crumbs falling off in between (fragmentation). The more crumbs, the higher the fragmentation and the poorer the prognosis.

Embryo Development: Not all blastocysts are created equal. Embryologists have great tools to select the best blastocyst based on embryo development. Best development=chance to pregnancy!
