Rokaya Hachicho: Are We Doing Too Much to Our Embryos?

Rokaya Hachicho, IVF Lab Director at Women’s Health Center, shared on LinkedIn:

“Are We Doing Too Much to Our Embryos?

In modern IVF laboratories, technological advancements continue to expand what we can do with embryos.

But an important question remains:

Does doing more always mean achieving better outcomes?

Every additional procedure, manipulation, or period outside a controlled culture environment deserves careful consideration.

Embryos require stable conditions, and unnecessary handling may introduce avoidable fluctuations in temperature, pH, and environmental exposure.

While many laboratory interventions are essential and clinically justified, others may offer limited or uncertain benefits.

As embryologists, our responsibility is not simply to adopt every available technology, but to critically evaluate its scientific evidence, safety, and clinical relevance.

Sometimes, the most advanced approach is knowing when not to intervene.

The goal should never be to perform more procedures, but to provide each embryo with the most appropriate and evidence-based conditions for development.

What do you think? Are we sometimes prioritizing technological innovation over biological simplicity in IVF laboratories?”
