Assisted hatching is an IVF laboratory procedure in which the outer shell of an embryo is gently thinned or opened before transfer. It is not needed routinely and is considered only when the embryology and clinical team believes it may be appropriate.
Your care team will explain the process, likely timeline, alternatives and follow-up before care begins.
