Embryo glue? Worth it or not?

I used alongside laser assisted hatching.

The clinic I was with used it as standard. X

The clinic I was with used it as standard too , I have no experience without but I was successful first time round x

My clinic uses embryo glue as standard and I'm currently 15 weeks after a successful first transfer

My clinic also uses it as a standard, and now am 15 weeks after my first FET

Mine also used it as standard, still took 3 transfers to be successful! Also had a scratch with one transfer but that unfortunately did not work. There’s no harm in trying it. I think the better thing can be to ask, if you didn’t try it and it didn’t work…would you have regretted not using it. Good luck! 🙏🏽 x

Thank you all! ✨ We’re NHS funded but it’s an optional extra so might just pay the £250 and hope for the best 🥹

I thought embryo glue was standard, too.

@Jenna I am in the UK - I asked this in our nurse call and she said it no longer is, it’s now an optional extra at £250 because the NHS doesn’t have enough evidence of success to support it as standard now. I suppose it could also be location? We live in a place where it’s just 1 fresh transfer attempt and that’s it, whereas some areas get 2 or 3 full rounds and however many transfers, dependant on how many embryos. It’s sad it’s so different based on location.

I think it depends on clinics when I used in the UK it didn't work but when I went to prague clinic it was as standard with hatching and seemed to have worked

From my understanding it is a brand name of a transfer medium. So no matter whether you have it or not, you'll be having some form of transfer medium for the egg to float around in. There isn't enough evidence to say that this particular one makes much or any difference so it's rated as amber by the HFEA. If you can afford it and want it then why not

Yes worth it! Ours was £900 each time and both were positive.
