During the embryo transfer cycle, the female partner has to undergo oral hormonal medications. From the start of her menses to makes her endometrial lining which means the inner wall of the uterus. Ultrasound monitoring is to check whether she is making a good endometrial lining. Once it is mid-cycle the patient needs to give blood to check her hormonal levels of Estrogen and Progesterone in blood. Depending on her reports and if all is well she will undergo further hormonal medications in the category of luteal support. This is to prepare the home for the embryo to stay. To make the womb(uterus) appropriate to transfer the embryo.
However, on the day of the transfer, the lady has to reach the clinic in the morning hours with her guardian. An empty stomach is not compulsory for the procedure. After all the necessary preparation she is taken inside the IVF lab where the transfer procedure takes place. It is a safe, non-painful procedure that takes about 15 to 20 minutes. Further, she needs to lie down for about 45 to 60 minutes in the observation room, and then she will get the discharge letter. Proper advice is givenas to medications and lifestyle।
What Happens During The Embryo Transfer Cycle?
Depending on the stage of the embryo transferred a blood test called Beta HCG which is to check the value. If the value is high it is positive for pregnancy. The practice of assisted reproductive technology (ART) has experienced a shift toward single blastocyst embryo transfer. Furthermore, recently as we strive toward decreasing the unpleasant complication of multiple pregnancies. However, without compromising on pregnancy and live-birth rates. We owe to every evolving cultural system along with refined methods to assess the developmental potential. With elective single oocyte transfer becoming the way forward in ART, the selection of the most viable embryo for transfer is of utmost importance. In recent years, with an advanced understanding of embryonic development and advances in the field of assisted reproduction. Furthermore, the developmental stage at which an embryo transfer takes place has become more advanced. Accordingly, embryo selection criteria have evolved.
