In this egg-citing episode of "Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday," Dr. Mark Amols cracks open the secrets of assisted hatching in IVF. Ever wonder why some embryos need a little extra help to hatch and implant? Dr. Amols breaks it all down, explaining what assisted hatching is, how it works, and when it might be just the thing to boost your chances of success.

You'll learn about the different hatching techniques—mechanical, chemical, and laser—and why laser hatching often steals the spotlight. Dr. Amols also dives into the key reasons this technique is recommended, particularly for women of advanced maternal age, those with repeated IVF failures, and cases involving frozen embryos.

But it’s not all smooth sailing—assisted hatching comes with its own set of risks, including a slight increase in identical twinning and added costs. Tune in to find out why assisted hatching isn’t for everyone, and how it can be a game-changer for the right patients.
