background: successful embryo transfer (et) technique is a fateful step of all efforts to achieve live births from in vitro produced embryos in assisted reproductive techniques or in knockout, transgenic or cloned animal projects. small reproductive tract of mice and limitation of current techniques may not well satisfy the requirements for mass production of genetically modified mice. genetic ...

Background: The aim of this study was to determine the outcome of IVF/ ICSI by modification of embryo transfer technique following embryo transfer. Materials and Methods: In this randomized trial study, two groups of infertile women (n = 55) aged %40 years underwent in vitro fertilization or intracytoplasmic sperm injection treatment cycles with or without 0.2 mL of air pushed into the catheter...

background: it has been demonstrated that performing a mock embryo transfer (et) significantly improves the pregnancy rate in ivf cycles. the mock et could be performed prior to the stimulation cycle or immediately before real et. the problem of the first procedure is the possibility of variation in the uterine position and or cervico�uterine angle. objective: the purpose of this study was to d...

The technique of embryo transfer is very crucial and great attention and time should be given to this step. In order to optimize the embryo transfer technique, several precautions should be taken. The first and most important is to avoid the initiation of uterine contractility. This can be achieved by the use of soft catheters, gentle manipulation and by avoiding touching the fundus. Secondly, ...

Embryo transfer (ET) is universally recognized as the final and most critical stage in an in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcome (Neithardt et al., 2005; Ghazzawi et al., 1999). The majority of couples (approximately 80%) who undergo IVF reach the embryo transfer stage, yet few pregnancies occur (Mansour & Aboulghar, 2002; Adamson et al., 2006). Although embryo genetic abnormalities (Munne et al....

background: natural endometrium in frozen-thawed embryo transfer (fet) may have some benefits upon implantation in patients with repeated implantation failure (rif). it might be due to possible differences between natural and stimulated endometrial growth factors and cytokins secretions. objective: the objective of this study was to compare the pregnancy rate of fet on modified natural cycle ve...

background: improvement of assisted reproductive technique (art) results in higher pregnancy rates from positive beta hcg to take home baby statistics. despite developments in culture media allowing blastocyst stage transfer, some centers apply second, third and sometimes fourth day post injection for embryo transfer. this study aimed to compare their reproductive outcomes.   methods : this pro...

Embryo transfer (ET) is the final and most crucial step of the IVF procedure, characterized by a close collaboration between the clinician and the embryologist. Several studies have shown improvement in clinical pregnancy rates resulting from a focus on different aspects of the gentle embryo transfer technique. Issues such as impact of physician’s experience, trial transfer, catheter type, embr...

Various assisted reproductive techniques have been developed and refined to obtain a large number of offspring from genetically superior animals or obtain offspring from infertile (or subfertile) animals. The embryo transfer is one assisted reproductive technique developed well, aimed at increased productivity of selected females, disease control, importation and exportation of livestock, rapid...
