Embryo transfer is a critical step in the IVF journey at Bangkok Central Clinic. After fertilization and careful laboratory culture to the blastocyst stage (typically 5–6 days), the healthy embryo is gently placed into the uterus. Our experienced fertility specialists perform this delicate procedure to maximize your chances of successful implantation and pregnancy, all while ensuring your comfort throughout.
What to Expect During Embryo Transfer
The embryo develops in the lab until it reaches the blastocyst stage with 60–200 cells, ready for transfer.
The procedure involves inserting a thin, flexible catheter through the cervix to place the embryo into the uterus.
Embryo transfer is usually quick and painless.
After the transfer, patients rest for about 1 hour at the clinic before returning home.
For 3 to 4 days after the transfer, patients should:
- Avoid strenuous exercise such as mountain climbing, marathons, or tennis.
- Refrain from sexual intercourse and vaginal washing.
- Avoid heavy lifting and excessive walking.
- Limit travel but short flights are generally permitted.
Light activities such as showering, walking up and down stairs, and minimal driving are allowed.
Only take medications prescribed or approved by your doctor; consult us if you have any doubts.
