Hi Carol,
I was wondering about the culture that is used to put the embryos in. I know nothing about it and got curious.
My clinic had to get some particular culture/medium in so they could do day 3 vitrification and it got me thinking.
What is the culture? WHat is it made from. What are the different types? Why do you use one sort as oppsed to another?
Thanks.
