Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Embryology
  • In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

Background:

  • Embryo transfer is a critical step in assisted reproductive technologies.
  • Success rates are influenced by various procedural and biological factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review literature on factors influencing embryo transfer outcomes.
  • To identify technical elements promoting successful embryo implantation.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature review of studies on embryo transfer.

Main Results:

  • Optimal pregnancy and implantation rates are achieved by avoiding blood, mucus, bacterial contamination, uterine contractions, and endometrial trauma.
  • Techniques such as trial transfers, ultrasonographic guidance, and soft catheter use facilitate successful embryo transfer.
