A standard assessment of embryo morphology at given time points does not always allow to transfer the embryo with the highest implantation potential. The effect of transfer of an improper embryo results in a lack of pregnancy or a miscarriage and, as a consequence, exposes the patient to unnecessary emotional stress and necessity to perform yet another transfer of frozen embryos. We present a case of a patient with earlier IVF failures. The use of time-lapse technique in this case helped to choose two good embryos. The transfer resulted in ongoing twin pregnancy.
