Fresh Embryo Transfer

When to Opt for Fresh Embryo Transfer?

• When the uterine lining is healthy in the same cycle
• During the first IVF attempt if hormone levels are normal
• If there is no risk of OHSS (Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome)
• When the patient chooses not to freeze embryos
• If genetic testing is not immediately required
• When embryo quality is ideal for fresh transfer
• For patients with regular cycles and good hormone response
• If the fertility specialist recommends based on cycle progress
• In cases where immediate transfer is preferred

Precautions During Fresh Embryo Transfer

• Strictly follow medication and injection schedules
• Avoid physical strain and heavy lifting
• Eat a balanced and nutritious diet
• Continue prenatal vitamins, especially folic acid
• Avoid harmful chemicals and toxins

Post-Treatment Care

• Take prescribed medications on time
• Rest as advised and avoid strenuous activity
• Refrain from sexual intercourse until cleared by the doctor
• Report symptoms like severe bloating, pain, or discomfort
• Stay calm and avoid emotional or physical stress

Risks Involved

• Ectopic pregnancy
• Risk of infection
• Multiple pregnancy (if multiple embryos are transferred)
• Rare damage if embryos are re-biopsied or refrozen
• Rare ovarian overstimulation from hormone medications

Steps in Fresh Embryo Transfer

• Ovarian Stimulation: Hormone injections stimulate egg growth.
• Egg Retrieval: Mature eggs are collected once follicles are ready.
• Fertilisation: Eggs are fertilised with sperm in the lab.
• Embryo Monitoring: Embryos are observed for 3–5 days for growth and quality.
• Embryo Transfer: The best-quality embryo is placed directly into the uterus in the same cycle.

This process happens within one menstrual cycle, and if all conditions are favourable, it increases the chances of successful implantation.
