If you are preparing for an embryo transfer, understanding the process, timeline, and how to optimise your chances of success can help reduce anxiety and improve outcomes.
The embryo transfer is typically performed 3 to 5 days after egg retrieval. Day-5 blastocyst transfers generally have higher implantation rates. Your doctor will discuss whether a fresh or frozen transfer is most suitable.
Key factors for success include endometrial thickness, embryo quality grading, and progesterone support. After transfer, most clinics recommend gentle activity for 24–48 hours. The two-week wait before your pregnancy test can be emotionally challenging — lean on your support network.
