IVF Transfer- A
Critically Important Procedure
IVF transfer is the most important part of the whole
procedure of the IVF treatment. It doesn't matter how
facilitated the IVF laboratory is or the environment, but if
the physician carelessly transfers the embryo they can ruin the
whole thing. The IVF transfer has to be transferred very
carefully and at the proper location.
In the process of IVF transfer there is no pain involved and
there is no requirement of sedation and other drugs. The embryo
should be transferred in a technical way, that is using a
moderately full bladder, that improves the ultrasound
visualization, so that the transfer is done at the right place.
It also unfolds the uterus in an accommodating angle that helps
the IVF transfer much easier and there are no post transfer
problems.
During the process of IVF transfer there are lots of
precautions that has to be taken and the best place to put the
embryo is the middle of the endometrial cavity. After the IVF
transfer there are some activities restrictions that has to be
taken by the women who have undergone the IVF transfer process.
After the IVF transfer she has to lie on her back for 1 hour
and avoid any physical activity for the rest of the day. This
means almost total rest and even normal and regualr activities
are restricted and she is advised to return to normal
activities the next day. Till the pregnancy test is done, there
are restrictions on the activities involving heavy bouncing of
the uterus.
9 to 11 days post transfer of the embryo, a test is done to
find out whether the pregnancy is confirmed or not. A blood
test is advised for this pregnancy test because it is reliable
and sensitive. After the discussion of the couple with the
doctor, it is decided as to how many embryos should be
transferred depending upon the quality of the embryo. There are
chances that they might fail and not a single one will hatch so
the doctor tries to judge the success of multiple pregnancy
also. However placing more than one embryo increases the
overall pregnancy rate.
Since so much precautions are included in the IVF transfer
process that it is considered as critically important
procedure. This is the base of the whole In Vitro Fertilization
process and if the placement of embryo is done properly and at
the right place, the IVF success rate also increases up to a
good extent.
