How Many Embryos Should You Transfer?

When a patient has a large number of embryos, they must decide how many to transfer for each transfer. The decision has far-reaching repercussions for the health of the person giving birth, the health of the offspring, the possibility of a live birth, and, yes, the family's future income.

How Do You Prepare for Embryo Transfer?

Embryo transfer is a procedure in which one or more cultivated embryos are returned to the mother's womb. In most cases, only one embryo will be transferred, while other viable embryos will be saved for future use.Your transfer can happen two to five days (sometimes even six) after you harvest your eggs (if going through a fresh cycle). When this is likely to happen, your Apricity advisor will keep you informed.

What need I do in order to be ready for the embryo transfer?

You'll already be taking all of the necessary pills and vitamins, so there won't be much else to do. Embryo transfers are usually performed without sedation, so you can eat and drink normally before the procedure.

Is it necessary for me to take time off work?

We don't typically recommend that individuals take time off work for egg collection, but we do advocate avoiding severe or unusual exercise, so it depends on the nature of your job. Your Apricity adviser can provide you with specifically tailored assistance if you have any concerns regarding your work or day-to-day activities around this time.

Is the technique for transferring embryos painful?

Although the embryo transfer itself should not be uncomfortable, some women do suffer discomfort during the process. Please notify your clinician if you have any unusual discomfort.
