Understanding Assisted Hatching
Assisted hatching is a specialized IVF procedure that involves thinning or creating a small opening in the zona pellucida, the outer shell of an embryo, to facilitate implantation in the uterus. This technique is performed in our advanced laboratory before embryo transfer and is particularly effective for:
- Women over 35 with thicker embryo shells
- Couples with previous IVF failures
- Embryos with abnormally thick zona pellucida
- Frozen embryo transfers
- Cases involving poor embryo quality
At Orion IVF, assisted hatching improves implantation rates, making it a valuable infertility treatment for those undergoing test tube baby treatment.
Why Consider Assisted Hatching?
During natural conception, the embryo must hatch out of its protective shell to attach to the uterus. In some cases, especially in IVF:
- The zona pellucida may be abnormally thick or hardened.
- Older women tend to have embryos with tougher shells.
- Frozen-thawed embryos sometimes face difficulties hatching.
- Previous IVF attempts have failed due to implantation issues.
Assisted hatching can provide that extra support, assisting embryos to implant and potentially increasing pregnancy rates.

The Assisted Hatching Process at Orion IVF Pune
Our IVF center in Wakad, Pune, integrates assisted hatching seamlessly into the IVF process:
Ovarian Stimulation
Hormonal medications stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs, monitored via ultrasound and blood tests.
Egg Retrieval
Mature eggs are collected using a minimally invasive procedure under sedation.
Fertilization
Eggs are fertilized with sperm in our advanced laboratory, often using Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) for male infertility cases.
Embryo Culture
Embryos are cultured for 3-5 days (or up to blastocyst stage) under the supervision of Tejal Lingayat.
Assisted Hatching
Using a laser or chemical method, our embryologist thins or opens the zona pellucida of selected embryos to aid implantation.
Embryo Transfer
Treated embryos are transferred to the uterus using a fine catheter, guided by ultrasound for precision.
Pregnancy Testing
A blood test 10-14 days post-transfer confirms pregnancy, with follow-up care provided.
Benefits and Risks of Assisted Hatching
Benefits:
- Enhances implantation rates for older women or those with thick zona pellucida
- Improves success in frozen embryo transfers and previous IVF failures
- Minimally invasive with no additional discomfort
- Supports single embryo transfer to reduce multiple pregnancies
Risks:
- Rare risk (less than 1%) of embryo damage during hatching
- Slight chance of increased twin pregnancies if multiple embryos are transferred
- Not guaranteed to improve outcomes in all cases
- Minimal additional cost compared to standard IVF
Assisted Hatching Success Rates at Orion IVF
Clinical studies and our experience at Orion IVF show that Assisted Hatching can indeed boost implantation and pregnancy rates in carefully selected cases. While IVF in itself has high success rates, Assisted Hatching offers an additional advantage, especially for the above-mentioned indications. Our expertise and use of latest technologies like Laser-Assisted Hatching ensure the procedure is performed with maximum precision, leading to significantly improved chances of successful implantation and a healthy pregnancy.
At Orion IVF Pune, our fertility specialists and Chief Embryologist, Dr. Tejal Lingayat, will thoroughly evaluate your specific situation to determine if Assisted Hatching is the right addition to your personalized fertility treatment plan.
