For many women, the method of in vitro fertilization is the only way to experience the happiness of motherhood. Preparing for the IVF procedure, they, of course, are asking themselves: what sensations does the potential mom experience after embryo transfer? No less interesting are the first symptoms of pregnancy after embryo transfer. In this article, we will try to answer all important questions concerning the woman's well-being at the decisive stage of IVF.
Isolations after embryo transfer
So, the preparatory stage has been completed, the best quality eggs have been selected and fertilized, the embryos have been for several days. Finally, there comes the most responsible and exciting moment - the transfer of embryos. Having convinced that the organism of the future mother is ready to accept a new life, the doctor with the help of a special catheter introduces 2-3 embryos into the uterine cavity. Contrary to popular belief implantation of embryos does not happen immediately: it will take about two weeks before you can safely say that the long-awaited pregnancy has come or that the attempt was unsuccessful.

If the hCG is less than 25 mU / ml, the pregnancy did not occur, and at hCG at a level of 25-70 mU / ml they speak of a dubious result (the chances of pregnancy are only 10-15%).
