Embryo transfer

Embryo transfer is the final and most critical step of the IVF program. In most cases today, frozen embryo transfer (FET) is preferred over fresh transfer, as couples often choose to perform genetic testing (PGT-A/PGT-M) to exclude serious chromosomal or hereditary conditions.

How the program works

We ensure safe preparation of the uterus and optimized conditions for embryo implantation

Preliminary examination:

The woman undergoes standard primary assessment. If there have been unsuccessful transfers in the past, additional diagnostics may include:

  • hysteroscopy or sonohysterography to evaluate uterine cavity
  • assessment of endometrial quality and synchronization with cycle phase
  • diagnosis of chronic endometritis or endometrial immune reactivity
  • endometrial microbiome testing (especially after repeated failures)

Preparation protocol for transfer

The approach is chosen individually, based on hormonal profile, ovulation status, and menstrual cycle characteristics. Three main options are used:

  • Natural cycle — when normal menstrual and hormonal function is preserved
  • Modified natural cycle — with mild ovulation stimulation.
  • Hormone replacement cycle — with estrogens and progesterone to prepare the endometrium.
All protocols involve regular ultrasound monitoring of endometrial thickness and quality.

Embryo transfer

On the day corresponding to the embryo’s development stage, transfer is performed. This is a painless outpatient procedure.

Luteal phase support

Hormonal therapy is prescribed after transfer to promote implantation and early pregnancy development.

Pregnancy diagnosis

Fourteen days after transfer, a blood test for β-hCG is performed. In case of a positive result, hormonal support continues along with dynamic monitoring of pregnancy.

F.A.Q.

Get answers to common questions about embryo transfer

Frozen transfer is often recommended, as it allows time for genetic testing and ensures the endometrium is optimally prepared.

No, it is a simple, painless outpatient procedure that does not require anesthesia.

If pregnancy is not achieved, additional diagnostic tests may be recommended, and another transfer can be planned with frozen embryos.
