The procedure of embryo transfer take place under the observation of best doctors. However the procedure start with the simple process in which speculum is placed in vagina to visualize the cervix. With the process of visualization the cervix is cleaned with saline solution and culture media. In this process several catheter are used which are inserted through cervical canal and then to uterine cavity. By the help of using ultrasound for the perfection, then the doctor will passed the catheter through cervix into womb. From there the embryo are passed through fallopian tube and into the womb.
Generally, the process is pain relief and short but some women may feel discomfort while inserting speculum. After embryo transfer, your doctor will ask you for appointment after 2 or 3 weeks.
