The embryo transfer stage involves the placement of healthy embryos into the uterus. Before this takes place, you will take estrogen and progesterone daily to prepare your body for pregnancy. The embryo transfer phase does not involve anesthesia. However, it’s recommended to arrive at this procedure with a full bladder to ensure accurate placement of the embryo and to allow easier access to the transfer catheter.Overall, this process feels very similar to a pap smear or vaginal ultrasound.
