Autologous Endometrial Coculture (AEC)

AEC is a technique involving IVF that tries to create a more natural environment in the laboratory for the development of the embryo.

Following fertilization in the IVF lab, the embryo is placed on a layer of cells previously removed from the woman’s own uterine lining before being transferred to the uterus.

The idea is that the uterine cells help promote the proper development of the embryo.

The technique requires that the woman undergo a biopsy in which some cells are removed from her uterus.  From here on, the procedure is similar to IVF.
