In this episode, Professor Deirdre Zander-Fox, Chief Scientific Officer at Monash IVF Group  talks about all things embryology and what happens behind the scenes in the lab.

From fertilisation and embryo development to understanding attrition rates, embryo quality, and why some embryos stop developing, we unpack one of the most anxious parts of the IVF journey.

We also discuss the emotional side of the post-collection period and the support patients need through this stage. If you're in that nervous waiting period, this episode will give you clarity and reassurance about the science and work happening behind the scenes and what it means for your cycle.
