What Is a Blastocyst, and How Does It Affect Early Pregnancy? - #15255
I’ve been learning about the early stages of pregnancy, and I came across the term blastocyst. From what I understand, a blastocyst is the developing embryo around 5–6 days after fertilization, but why is this stage so important? I read that the blastocyst needs to successfully implant into the uterus for pregnancy to continue. What factors affect blastocyst implantation, and why do some fail to implant? Does this lead to early pregnancy loss, or does the body naturally reabsorb it? I also learned that blastocyst transfer is commonly used in IVF (in vitro fertilization). Why do doctors prefer transferring a blastocyst instead of an earlier-stage embryo? Does a blastocyst transfer have a higher chance of success? Are there any natural or Ayurvedic methods that support blastocyst implantation? Do certain herbs, foods, or lifestyle changes improve uterine health and embryo implantation? If anyone has gone through IVF or struggled with implantation issues, what helped improve your chances of success?
