📝 Fertility Word of the Day: Morphology Did you know sperm are made up of 3 main parts, the head, the middle piece, and the tail. 1️⃣ The head contains the DNA that can combine with the DNA of the egg if fertilization occurs. 2️⃣ The middle piece contains mitochondria that produce the energy to power the tail. 3️⃣ The tail is a whip like structure attached to the head that is responsible for where and how the sperm swims.

Did you know... 🥇IVF is the most common type of assisted reproductive technology 🌍 More than 2 million IVF cycles are completed yearly worldwide #berryfertility #berryfertilitytracker #IVF #wordoftheday #TTC #infertility

Euploid embryos are also often labeled as "normal" embryos. If you choose to do PGT-A genetic testing on your embryos after your IVF cycle, the results will indicate if the cells of the embryo are euploid (normal) or aneuploid (abnormal). #berryfertility #PGT #IVF #infertility #TTC #fertility #FET #genetics #euploid #fertilityjourney

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is a manual form of fertilization where an embryologist selects the highest quality sperm present in a sample and injects one into each egg. According to a new study in @fertilitysterility , ICSI does not provide an advantage over conventional insemination when male factor fertility isn't a concern. Talk with your doctor about your plan for fertilization during your next IVF cycle to determine what method makes the most sense for you! #berryfertility #fertstert #IVF #fertilization #ICSI #conventional #TTC #infertility #fertilityjourney
