| Embryo Glue | £295 | |
Embryo Glue is a specialised culture medium that is enriched with a naturally occurring substance called Hyaluronan. Hyaluronan is found throughout the body and is thought to be important in fertility as the levels of hyaluronan increase within the uterus around implantation.
If you chose to use Embryo Glue, this will be used instead of conventional culture medium at the point of embryo transfer. The embryo selected for transfer will be placed within the Embryo Glue ahead of transfer. You will not need to do anything differently during the embryo transfer process. There are no additional risks in the use of Embryo Glue further than those associated with routine fertility treatment.
Embryo Glue has been classed as an ‘add on’ by the HFEA. An ‘add on’ is a treatment that can be offered by a clinic which may not have enough evidence to show that it is effective at increasing the chances of having a baby (https://www.hfea.gov.uk/treatments/treatment-add-ons/#What-are-add-ons).
Each ‘add on’ is ranked according to the quality of evidence to support their use and Embryo Glue, along with other media containing hyaluronan, has been ranked as ‘amber’. The HFEA acknowledge that there is one high quality study which supports that Embryo Glue may increase the chances of having a baby with fertility treatment whilst other studies are deemed to be of moderate quality and as such the use cannot be routinely recommended for all fertility patients (https://www.hfea.gov.uk/treatments/treatment-add-ons/hyaluronate-enriched-medium/).
Your Clinician and Embryology team will be able to give you further guidance should you wish to use Embryo Glue in your treatment. |
