The procedure itself takes about 10-15 minutes and is usually painless.
At MEDPRIME FERTILITY, we specialize in providing advanced embryo transfer procedures to help you achieve your dream of parenthood. Our team of experts ensures that every step of the IVF process, from fertilization to implantation, is conducted with precision and care.
Embryo transfer is a crucial step in in vitro fertilization (IVF), where a fertilized embryo is carefully placed into the uterus to initiate pregnancy. This procedure is typically performed on day 3 or day 5 after egg retrieval, depending on the embryo's development.
We facilitate both fresh and frozen embryo transfers (FET) through our partner clinics, ensuring personalized solutions to optimize success rates.
Fresh embryo transfer is performed within a few days after fertilization. It is an ideal option for patients who respond well to ovarian stimulation and have high-quality embryos.
Frozen embryos are thawed and transferred into the uterus in a controlled cycle. This method allows for better cycle planning and often results in higher success rates, especially for patients with hormonal imbalances or previous unsuccessful transfers.
A blastocyst-stage embryo (typically 5-6 days old) has a higher implantation potential. This technique allows us to select the strongest embryos, improving pregnancy rates.
Embryo transfer is the final step of an IVF cycle, where a fertilized embryo is placed into the uterus to achieve pregnancy. The procedure is simple, painless, and takes only a few minutes.
01
Before the procedure, the uterus is prepared with medications to optimize the endometrial lining for implantation. The embryos are carefully thawed if using frozen embryos.
02
A soft catheter is used to place the embryo into the uterus under ultrasound guidance. The process is quick, usually taking 10-15 minutes, and is generally painless.
03
After the transfer, patients are advised to rest and follow medical recommendations. Over the next few days, the embryo begins implantation, and a pregnancy test is done after 11-14 days to confirm success.
After transfer, the embryo implants in the uterine lining within a few days, and a pregnancy test is done after 11-14 days to confirm success.
Embryo transfer success depends on several factors, including:
A blood test (hCG) is recommended 12-14 days after embryo transfer to confirm pregnancy.

The procedure itself takes about 10-15 minutes and is usually painless.
The embryo begins attaching to the uterine lining within the first 1-3 days. Implantation typically occurs between days 4-6, and a pregnancy test can be taken around day 11-14.
The number of embryos transferred depends on age, embryo quality, and medical history. In most cases, one or two embryos are recommended to minimize the risk of multiple pregnancies.
No, embryo transfer is usually painless. Some patients may feel mild discomfort similar to a Pap smear.
Avoid heavy lifting, intense exercise, alcohol, smoking, and excessive stress. Follow your doctor’s instructions for the best results.
A blood test (hCG test) is recommended 11-14 days after embryo transfer for accurate results.
Early signs may include mild cramping, light spotting, fatigue, or breast tenderness, but not everyone experiences symptoms.
It’s generally safe to travel, but avoid excessive physical exertion and long-haul flights in the first few days. Always consult your doctor.
Success rates vary based on age, embryo quality, and overall health. For younger women using high-quality embryos, success rates can be 50-60% or higher per transfer.
