Implantation is key in IVF as it is the final stage of treatment. For this, it may cause stress and concern.

But what is implantation?

It is a chain of events resulting in the attachment of the embryo to the lining of the uterus, the endometrium. It is the step that completes IVF treatment, after the embryo transfer. The next step is the β-HCG test to see if the pregnancy has actually been achieved.

What can I do to achieve higher implantation chances?

For implantation, you need a healthy uterus without any “obstacles” -such as polyps, septum, etc. The equation is: healthy uterus + healthy fetus = pregnancy. The immune environment is also important.

The quality of the embryo is monitored from the first day of fertilization of the egg, through time-lapse technology. The Embryoscope + incubator enables us to ensure an environment similar to the uterus: no light interference, no movement, with stable conditions and 24-hour monitoring.

The fertility expert, also, prepares the body for the "fertile window", that is the most appropriate time for the implantation to take place.

After implantation what?

After implantation, you can continue your daily routine. You do not need to stay in bed, you do not need to change anything in your daily life. Maybe only for the first 2-3 days after the embryo transfer, it is recommended to take it easy, not getting too tired, no exhausting exercise, etc. Always in consultation with your doctor, you can take a walk, go for coffee or to a restaurant.

Exactly 14 days after egg retrieval, it is time for the pregnancy test! Good luck!!
