Patient's question:
I've been married for three years, but haven't been able to conceive yet. My family is quite anxious about it. After checking at the hospital, they recommended that we consider IVF. Last week, we had a embryo transfer, but today I'm feeling uncomfortable in my stomach and don't know if there's a problem. I'd like to ask, how can I know if implantation has occurred after the transfer?What kind of help I need: What are the symptoms of successful implantation after the transfer?
Doctor's answer:
A fertilized egg can develop to the 8-16 cell stage embryo after 48-72 hours of in vitro culture. At this stage, the number of embryos to be transferred is determined based on the patient's age, previous pregnancy history, and the quality of the embryos. Excess embryos can be frozen for storage. Embryo transfer generally does not require anesthesia. Currently, embryo transfer is often performed 2-3 days after fertilization, while the post-fertilization 3-5 day embryo transfer method is also being adopted.
