Afterward, the embryo is transferred into an embryo culture medium within a time-lapse system, where it remains until the patient is ready for the embryo transfer procedure.

The blastocyst is first placed in a thawing solution for 1-3 minutes, followed by immersion in a dilution solution for 4-6 minutes to reduce cryoprotectant concentration. Finally, the blastocyst is transferred to a washing solution for 5-10 minutes for rehydration.
