Assisted Hatching: There can be complications from assisted hatching. It may be associated with damage to the embryo and damage to individual blastomeres with a reduction in the viability of the embryo. In addition, assisted hatching has been associated with an increased risk of monozygotic (identical) twins. Talk to your fertility doctor about the risks and benefits of assistant hatching.
