You know, we had planned transfer on 31st March. I did plenty of things to help implantation. Did a lot of research and a little bit consulting on this point with my doc. But I felt not strong enough to write down every other feeling I had during 2ww. This was a chaos, so hard from time to time to cope with my emotions. I wish I had a "switch off" button on me to get some rest from thinking. So, ladies, beg your pardon for not immediate update - I had to come to right emotional state.
But this is still so unbelievable I'm writing here sharing my happiness and amazement (not moaning and seeking the shoulder to cry on as usual!). I'm so delighted!! May God take care of us both and let everything go on smoothly resulting in a wonderful tiny. Fingers and toes crossed for all of you, brave lovely ladies Xx
An embryo must successfully attach itself to the wall of the womb for pregnancy to begin. So theyll tell you continue taking needed meds.
The exact procedure for embryo transfer depends on the clinic you are in. If you are under the age of 40, one or two embryos can be replaced. If you are 40 or over, a maximum of three embryos can be used. (Unless you are using donated eggs, when the maximum is two because these eggs will be from donors who are not older than 35).
If you have good quality embryos, those that are not transferred can be frozen. Some clinics may also offer blastocyst transfer, where embryos are transferred five to six days after fertilization. We had a shot IVF with donor eggs with 2 nice 5-day blasts transferred. (Our clinic is in Ukraine).
The doctor or nurse doing the embryo transfer inserts a speculum into your vagina. A catheter is passed through the cervix, normally using ultrasound guidance. The embryos are passed down the tube into the womb. This is normally a pain-free procedure and usually no sedation is necessary. But you may experience a little discomfort because you need a full bladder if ultrasound is used. It is generally recommended that you lead a gentle lifestyle during the few days after embryo transfer.
About two weeks after the embryo transfer, you will be given a pregnancy blood test.
