After fertilization the process of embryo development starts by way of cell division. In 48-72 hours after insemination embryos consist of 4-8 cells and can be transferred to the mother.

In our clinic the embryo transfer is made on the 3rd or 5th day of embryo cultivation. If more than 2 embryos have been obtained, the embryo selection before transferring into uterus makes sense. This is possible only at the stage of blastocyst. That is why if 2 or less embryos have been obtained, we recommend to transfer them on the 3rd day, if more than 3 - on the 5th day.

The embryos are transferred into the uterus with the help of a special catheter. This procedure is painless and does not require a pain relief. To enhance the likelihood of pregnancy, 2-3 embryos are transferred. Since the day of transfer some medications which support implantation and embryo development (progesterone, CG) are prescribed, since pregnancies resulted from infertility treatment refer to the noncarrying of pregnancy risk group.
