The Culmination of Your IVF Cycle
The embryo transfer is the final, most exciting step of an IVF cycle. After weeks of medication, monitoring, and egg retrieval, this quick procedure places your fertilized embryo safely into your uterus. While the procedure itself is simple, taking steps to prepare your mind and body can boost your confidence and support implantation success.
Steps to Take Before Transfer Day
In the days leading up to your embryo transfer, we recommend:
- Take your medicines exactly as prescribed: Progesterone support is critical to preparing your uterine lining. Never skip a dose.
- Focus on circulation: Gentle walks and light activity keep blood flowing to your pelvis, supporting a thick endometrial lining.
- Avoid lifestyle chemicals: Stay away from artificial fragrances, harsh beauty products, and nail polish on transfer day, as embryos are highly sensitive to strong chemical smells.
What to Expect on the Day of Transfer
The transfer is performed under ultrasound guidance, requiring a moderately full bladder. This straightens the angle of your cervix, allowing our specialists to place the embryo gently in the optimal spot. The procedure takes under 10 minutes and does not require anesthesia. Afterward, you can rest for a short time and then return home comfortably.
