In a fresh embryo transfer, eggs are retrieved from a woman’s ovaries, fertilized in our state-of-the-art laboratory, and the resulting embryos are transferred back into the woman’s uterus within five days of fertilization. This procedure contrasts with a frozen embryo transfer where embryos are frozen for future use.

To prepare for a fresh embryo transfer, we administer fertility drugs to stimulate the production of multiple eggs. Once retrieved, these eggs are combined in our lab with sperm to allow fertilization. Following successful fertilization, the embryos are carefully nurtured in a special incubator before being transferred back into the woman’s uterus.

Here at Conceptions Fertility Center, we don’t rush into decisions. We believe in careful deliberation and detailed discussions between our medical team and you, the patient. Factors such as age, the quality of the embryos, and overall health are crucial in deciding the best course of action.

Our expert team closely monitors each stage of the process, from stimulation and egg retrieval to fertilization and embryo culture. We utilize the latest techniques, such as intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), to aid fertilization and ensure optimal embryo development.

At Conceptions Fertility Center, our focus is on providing personalized, quality care. Our team selects the highest quality embryos for transfer, and we offer genetic testing options for additional peace of mind. Our state-of-the-art facility ensures precision during the embryo transfer phase, which is typically a painless procedure performed using ultrasound guidance.

Post-transfer, we continue to provide care and support, including the administration of progesterone supplements to improve pregnancy chances. We understand the emotional journey of fertility treatments, and our compassionate staff is here to support you during the “two-week wait” period and beyond.

We also deliver comprehensive information about timing and success rates. The success rate of fresh embryo transfer at Conceptions Fertility Center is influenced by several factors, including the age, fertility health, and overall health of our patients. We pride ourselves on our transparency and commitment to delivering the best possible outcomes for our patients.

The procedure involves transferring an embryo, created during an in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle, directly into the recipient’s uterus soon after its development. While highly beneficial for many, it’s essential to note that not all individuals are suitable candidates for this procedure.

At Conceptions Fertility Center, we assess each case individually based on the following criteria:

1. Age and Ovarian Reserve: We typically recommend this procedure for individuals aged between 21 and 39, who exhibit a good ovarian reserve, which is the ability of the ovary to provide egg cells capable of fertilization that can lead to a healthy pregnancy.
2. Uterine Health: We conduct comprehensive evaluations to ensure that the uterus is in optimal health, free from significant abnormalities that could hinder successful implantation and pregnancy.
3. Hormonal Balance: We do in-depth hormonal profiling to ensure that your body is prepared for pregnancy, as adequate levels of hormones like estrogen and progesterone are crucial for implantation.
4. Immune System Compatibility: We check for any potential immune system issues that might prevent the successful implantation of an embryo.
5. Overall Health: It’s essential that the candidate is free from recent infections or major health conditions that might interfere with the implantation process or increase the risk of pregnancy complications.
6. Healthy Lifestyle: We advise our patients to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including being non-smokers and limiting alcohol consumption.
7. Realistic Expectations: Our team is committed to providing clear and honest communication about fresh embryo transfer success rates to ensure our patients have a realistic understanding of the process.
8. Emotional Stability: We understand that undergoing IVF and embryo transfer can be emotionally challenging. Hence, we ensure our patients are emotionally prepared and have a strong support system in place.

• Physiological Changes:
1. Embryo Growth and Division: After the embryo transfer, our skilled medical team at Conceptions Fertility Center closely monitors the growth and division of the embryo within the uterus. This crucial stage is dependent on both the quality of the embryo and the uterine environment.
2. Implantation: We ensure that the patient is well-informed about the implantation process, which usually starts approximately 1 to 2 days after the transfer. Successful implantation is integral to establishing a pregnancy.
3. Development of Embryonic Structures: Our team provides detailed information about the development of embryonic structures in the days following implantation.
4. Hormonal Fluctuations: We explain how the presence of the embryo stimulates the production of the pregnancy hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and progesterone levels, which are essential for the development and maintenance of pregnancy.
5. Early Pregnancy Symptoms: Our doctors are available to discuss any early pregnancy symptoms the patient may experience and provide reassurance and guidance.
6. Blood Tests: We conduct blood tests approximately two weeks after the embryo transfer to confirm pregnancy by measuring hCG levels.

• Emotional Changes:
1. Anxiety and Excitement: We understand that the period after embryo transfer can be filled with both excitement and anxiety. Therefore, our team is committed to providing emotional support and addressing any concerns the patient may have.
2. Hope and Anticipation: We share in our patients’ joy when a positive pregnancy test signals the beginning of a new chapter in their lives.
3. Emotional Volatility: Recognizing the emotional changes that come with hormonal fluctuations is important, and our team is always available to provide support.

We Recommend:
• Rest and Relaxation: Our doctors recommend that patients take plenty of rest and avoid strenuous activity after embryo transfer to increase the chances of successful implantation.
•  Follow-Up Appointments: We schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor the progress of the pregnancy and conduct necessary tests and check-ups.
• Emotional Support: We encourage our patients to seek support from their loved ones and offer referrals to therapists who specialize in fertility-related issues.
• Stay Positive: Our team emphasizes the importance of a positive attitude and provides reassurance to our patients. We understand that each woman’s body is unique, and experiences can vary.
