Second cycle: to hatch or not to hatch?
The objective of this study was to assess the impact of assisted hatching (AH) on pregnancy rate (PR), clinical pregnancy rate (CPR), and implantation rate (IR) after a single failed, fresh, nondonor IVF cycle. Accordingly, we report that patients with one prior implantation failure benefit from AH with improved PR, CPR, and IR in a subsequent cycle.
