Gautam Allahbadia: An Embryo’s Journey Doesn’t Always Follow a Perfectly Predictable Path
Gautam Allahbadia, Consultant in Reproductive Medicine and Infertility at Allahbadia Fertility Clinic, shared on LinkedIn:
“For an IVF topic like this, I’d keep the caption focused on the science behind embryo splitting, rather than repeating the question and answer from the video:
An embryo’s journey doesn’t always follow a perfectly predictable path.
In rare cases, a single fertilised egg can divide into two embryos, resulting in identical twins.
This is known as monozygotic twinning, and the exact biological mechanism behind embryo splitting is still not completely understood.
It’s also a reminder that fertility treatment involves biology that can’t always be predicted simply by counting embryos.
If you have questions about your embryo transfer or what your individual IVF cycle means for you, discuss them with your fertility specialist.
