TREATMENT
Embryo Transfer (ET)
Embryo transfer into the uterine cavity is the final step in assisted reproductive technology. Although this process is often the most anxiety inducing for patients, in reality, it is similar to a routine gynecological pelvic exam that women undergo annually only even more gentle. The procedure is painless in order to avoid stimulating uterine muscle contractions, thus sedation or pain relief medication is generally unnecessary.
The embryo transfer involves inserting a small, soft plastic catheter into the uterine cavity at the appropriate location, followed by the placement of the embryo through the catheter. This process is typically guided by abdominal ultrasound to determine the optimal position for embryo placement, maximizing the chances of pregnancy.
Patient Instructions before Embryo Transfer (ET)

Fasting is not required; you may eat and drink as usual.
Avoid using scented products such as perfumes, sprays, cosmetics, or body powders on the day of embryo transfer.
