What is the embryo transfer?

IVF

Embryo transfer is the final step of the IVF process, where the selected embryos are transferred into the woman’s uterus. It is a relatively simple and painless procedure that does not require anaesthesia. Using a catheter, fertility experts gently transfer the embryos into the uterus with the guidance of ultrasound imaging. The number of embryos transferred depends on various factors, including the woman’s age, embryo quality, and preferences.
