At what stage is an embryo implanted in IVF?

IVF embryos are usually transferred on the second or third day after egg retrieval, at the four to eight-cell stage. The IVF embryos must continue to grow for two or three more days to reach the blastocyst transfer stage (100-150 cells) before they are ready for implantation into the uterine wall (endometrium).

When does embryo implant after IVF transfer?

Timing of embryo implantation in humans

Human blastocysts should hatch from the shell and begin to implant 1-2 days after day 5 IVF blastocyst transfer. In a natural situation (not IVF), the blastocyst should hatch and implant at the same time – about 6 to 10 days after ovulation.

What day of cycle is embryo transfer?

The day of transfer depends on the day that the progesterone starts, and the number of days' development of the embryo before it was frozen. For example, a five-day embryo transfer would be made on day six after the beginning of progesterone support.

Is Day 1 the day of embryo transfer?

The age and developmental stage of the embryo is described as Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5 or Day 6 after Day 0, which is the day of egg retrieval. At the LLU Center for Fertility, embryo transfer most often occurs on Day 5 of development when embryos are blastocysts.
