Embryo Transfer: The Final Step Toward Pregnancy
At Rotunda Hygeia, the embryo transfer is the most anticipated and emotional stage of your fertility journey — where we carefully place the best-quality embryos into your uterus to achieve pregnancy. Our skilled team ensures this step is performed with precision, care, and compassion to give you the highest chances of success.
What is Embryo Transfer?
Embryo transfer is a simple, painless procedure in which one or more healthy embryos, created through IVF or ICSI, are placed into the uterus. This allows the embryo to implant into the uterine lining and grow into a healthy pregnancy.
It is the final step of the IVF cycle and does not require anesthesia.
When Does Embryo Transfer Happen?
The timing of the embryo transfer depends on the growth stage of the embryos:
- Day 3 (Cleavage stage): Embryos with 6–8 cells are transferred.
- Day 5 (Blastocyst stage): More advanced embryos with higher implantation potential are transferred.
Our embryologists will recommend the best time based on the quality and development of your embryos.
How is the Procedure Done?
✅ The embryos are loaded into a thin, soft catheter.
✅ Under ultrasound guidance, the catheter is gently passed through the cervix into the uterus.
✅ The embryos are placed in the optimal location of the uterine cavity.
✅ The procedure takes about 10–15 minutes and you can go home shortly afterward.
You may be asked to rest briefly at the clinic before resuming normal activities.
