Embryo Transfer
The transfer places an embryo inside the uterus of the gestational mother. It is a stage of the treatment, not the confirmation of pregnancy. Afterward, the indicated test by the team should be awaited, and if applicable, the initial follow-up.

Embryo transfer is the procedure by which the embryo is placed in the uterus. A successful procedure does not mean that the embryo has implanted.
What is confirmed beforehand
The team reviews the preparation of the gestational mother, the chosen embryo, and the consents. If the embryo was frozen, the laboratory evaluates its condition after thawing.
What comes next
The gestational mother receives instructions about medications and follow-up. These instructions correspond to her individual assessment. Any doubts or proposed changes need to be discussed with the medical team and her.
The date for the pregnancy test should be defined. Symptoms or their absence do not indicate the result.
What you can organize
- How you will receive confirmation that the transfer was done.
- What information about the embryo will appear in the report.
- When the result will be communicated and who will explain it.
- How to contact the team if a question arises.
During this wait, you can rely on the agreed channels to share your questions and learn about the expected updates.
