We have always known that embryos, as living things, are very sensitive to changes in temperature. Therefore, throughout the entire process in the in vitro fertilisation laboratory, we have systems that keep the temperature stable, except when actual embryo transfer takes place and, at which point, the embryo is taken from the incubator for transfer to the uterus.

Instituto Bernabeu's commitment to giving patients the best chance of achieving pregnancy means we necessarily need to personalise each treatment and involve each department from each phase of assisted reproduction treatment in exploring new options, however insignificant they may seem. This can, sometimes, mean the difference between success and a negative beta result.

The 32^nd ESHRE Annual Meeting, the most significant congress for assisted reproduction specialists, will be held in Helsinki, Finland, between 3^rd and 6^th July, 2016. As on previous occasions, the Instituto Bernabeu group will very actively participate in this event and will make 5 oral presentations and present 4 posters based on clinical studies. The work has been previously selected by the scientific committee.

An embryo biopsy can potentially damage the embryo and it is for this reason that, at Instituto Bernabeu, we study different ways of optimising the options of achieving pregnancy amongst our patients. In this particular case, we studied how the position of inner cellular mass (ICM) during an embryo blastocyst biopsy affects clinical results.
