What is Embryo transfer?

Frequently Asked Questions with Dr. Charles MPL on IVF
This is the process in which fertilized eggs are placed inside your uterus using a flexible catheter (Wallace). This procedure is painless. Insertion of the catheter is done slowly. Sometimes it may be necessary to use a firmer catheter (Cook K Jet) and ultrasound guidance to insert the catheter. Removal of the catheter is also done slowly. After the catheter is removed, it is checked under the microscope to ensure that all the embryos have been placed in the uterus.

It is hard to say if the difference in rates can be attributed to the freeze/ thaw or to the quality of the embryos. We have clients come to us from all over the world.

What is the difference between an embryo, morula, and a blastocyst transfer?

New Page 0
Embryo Transfer: An embryo transfer is done 2 or 3 days after retrieval. A day 2 embryo usually contains anywhere from 2-4 cells. A day 3 embryo is usually around 8-10 cells in size. Morula Transfer: A morula transfer is done 4 days after retrieval. Morula transfers are not as common as embryo or blastocyst transfers. A Morula usually contains at least 30 cells, but as the cell numbers increase the morula compacts and the cell borders become less distinguishable.
