This is the standard process, where the Embryos are transferred directly into the uterine cavity. This procedure does not usually need Anesthesia. The number of embryos to be transferred is decided after considering the day on which the transfer is to be performed.
Uterine embryo transfer (UET) is a medical procedure that involves transferring an embryo from a laboratory dish to a woman’s uterus. It is a common assisted reproductive technology (ART) technique used to help couples who are struggling with infertility to achieve pregnancy.
Uterine embryo transfer is typically performed as part of in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment, in which eggs are fertilized in a laboratory dish and the resulting embryos are cultured for a few days before being transferred to the woman’s uterus. The aim is to achieve successful implantation and pregnancy.
The UET procedure involves inserting a catheter through the cervix and into the uterus, and then gently placing the embryo in the uterine cavity. The procedure is usually performed on an outpatient basis, and patients can typically resume normal activities within a few days.
Uterine embryo transfer can be an effective treatment option for couples with certain types of infertility, including those with ovulation disorders, blocked fallopian tubes, or unexplained infertility. However, the success rate of UET varies depending on a variety of factors, including the age of the woman, the quality of the embryos, and any underlying medical conditions.
Both fresh and frozen embryo transfer can be performed as a natural cycle transfer, which means the transfer is timed to occur during a woman’s natural menstrual cycle. Alternatively, it can be performed as a medicated cycle transfer, in which medications are used to synchronize the transfer with the woman’s menstrual cycle. The specific type of embryo transfer procedure used will depend on various factors, including the woman’s medical history, age, and reproductive health, as well as the quality and availability of embryos.
Usually, embryos are transferred on Day 2, Day 3 and Day 5 after ICSI / IVF. it must be noted that day of egg collection is considered Day 0.
There are various factors that we consider while deciding when the transfer of your embryos is placed back in your uterus.
Embryo transfer is the last stage of the IVF treatment and is often referred to the climax of the IVF treatment cycle. How is it decided on which day to transfer your embryos? Day 1 ? Day 2 or 3 ? or even 5 ? What is better? and why?
Unfortunately, human reproduction is not a very efficient process as most embryos fail to become babies. This is due to the genetic error that many embryos contain ( which is often random) and will not lead to implantation, as nature prevents them from doing so. This is the reason, the implantation rate even for high-quality embryos is only around 40%.
We are quite flexible on the day embryo is to be transferred for increasing the chances of success.

Embryo transfer is an important step in the in vitro fertilization (IVF) process, and it is important to take certain precautions to optimize the chances of a successful pregnancy. Here are some precautions to take before and after embryo transfer:
Before Embryo Transfer:
After Embryo Transfer:
After an embryo transfer, it is generally recommended to rest and take it easy for at least 24-48 hours. However, the specific length of time to take rest may vary based on individual circumstances and the doctor's recommendations.
In general, most doctors advise patients to avoid any strenuous activity, such as exercise or heavy lifting, for the first few days after the transfer. Some doctors may also recommend bed rest or modified activity, such as avoiding prolonged standing or sitting, for a longer period of time.
After the initial period of rest, it is generally safe to resume normal activities, although it is important to continue to avoid any high-intensity or strenuous activities for a period of time. Your doctor will provide you with specific instructions and guidelines for activity and rest, based on your individual situation.
It is important to follow your doctor's recommendations carefully, as the success of the embryo transfer may depend on factors such as proper rest, medication adherence, and a healthy lifestyle. If you have any questions or concerns about the length of time to rest after an embryo transfer, be sure to discuss them with your doctor.
It is generally advisable to avoid long-distance travel immediately after an embryo transfer, as the stress of travel and changes in routine may affect the success of the procedure. Additionally, sitting for long periods of time during travel may lead to blood clots or other complications.
However, short-distance travel, such as traveling by car or public transportation to and from the fertility clinic, is usually considered safe after an embryo transfer. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions and to take certain precautions, such as avoiding strenuous activity and staying well-hydrated.
If you must travel by plane, it is generally advisable to wait at least a few days after the embryo transfer before flying. Many airlines have restrictions on air travel for pregnant women, so be sure to check with the airline for any specific guidelines or requirements.
It is important to remember that every individual and every pregnancy is different, and the doctor's recommendations may vary based on your individual circumstances and medical history. If you have any questions or concerns about traveling after an embryo transfer, be sure to discuss them with your doctor.
