Embryo transfer: the last step to a long-awaited pregnancy
The embryo transfer procedure is the final stage of in vitro fertilisation (IVF), which becomes an important moment for many couples on their way to parenthood. This process involves the transfer of one or two embryos into the uterine cavity, where they must implant into the endometrium and begin their development.
The process of embryo transfer
Embryo transfer is a very delicate and extremely precise procedure. It takes place in an operating room under close ultrasound control. This allows the doctor to precisely place the embryo in the most appropriate location. During the procedure, the embryo is inserted into the uterus using a thin, disposable catheter.
Embryo transfer takes place on the third or fifth day after fertilisation. It all depends on the number and quality of embryos. If there are few of them, reproductive specialists often choose the third day to reduce the risks. However, five-day-old embryos that reach the blastocyst stage have a better chance of successful implantation and a healthy pregnancy.
Tips After Embryo Transfer
After an embryo transfer, it’s important to follow your doctor’s recommendations, such as:
- Limiting physical activity and exertion.
- Maintaining a healthy, balanced diet with all necessary vitamins and minerals.
- Minimizing stress and negative emotions.
- Ensuring timely check-ups and consultations with your doctor.
For many couples, this period is filled with hope and anticipation, as the success of implantation is crucial for the ongoing development of the pregnancy. Staying in close contact with your doctor is essential in order to respond to any possible changes in time.
Embryo transfer is a delicate and sensitive procedure that requires high qualifications from the doctor and responsibility from the patient.
