CBS3 in Philadelphia reports that the use of the EmbryoScope at Shady Grove Fertility is helping Philadelphia area couples conceive.

Toni and Ryan had been trying to conceive for several years without success. Both still in their early 30s and without medical problems, they were stumped about what could be preventing them from having the baby of their dreams. The couple turned to Dr. Isaac Sasson at Shady Grove Fertility in Chesterbrook, PA which offers a 100% Refund Guarantee on IVF treatment.

What is the EmbryoScope?

The EmbryoScope is a new instrument offering fertility specialists a different perspective when selecting embryos to transfer. The EmbryoScope provides the medical team with a time-lapse video featuring thousands of snapshots of each embryo over the 5 to 6 days of in vitro culture. Based on what is seen in the video, embryologists and physicians are able to identify particular developmental patterns that may help in the selection of the best embryo(s) for transfer.

Shady Grove Fertility is the only fertility center in the greater Philadelphia area to offer the EmbryoScope to IVF patients.
