Embryo Transfer

Embryo transfer is a critical step in the overall success of in vitro fertilization (IVF). Despite its apparent simplicity, it is an integral part of the IVF cycle that can be difficult to teach and perform well. In this chapter we describe the procedure of embryo transfer and discuss various modifications that have been evaluated in an effort to improve the probability of embryo implantation including ultrasound guidance, catheter design, transfer technique, as well as enrichment of the embryo transfer media.
