Problems and solutions

• Delayed or abnormal embryo development

Almost everyone has at least some embryos that stop developing normally by the time of embryo transfer. Occasionally all embryos stop developing before day 2 or 3 so that there are no embryos to transfer. When this happens it can be very difficult to advise what to do next – for some people the problem  will recur in another cycle, while for others it is a ‘one-off’  phenomenon that probably arose by chance .
