Time for embryo adoption

In order to prepare the uterus for embryo implantation, the recipient will receive an estrogen-based hormone treatment. This will be synchronized with the onset of the menstrual period and, in addition to medication, several ultrasounds will be necessary.

When this phase is completed, the embryo transfer will be performed. This is an extremely simple and painless process, so it does not require sedation. The chosen embryos are implanted by means of a fine cannula, which usually takes no more than 20 minutes.

After 15 days the first pregnancy test is performed and if it is positive, we do an ultrasound to confirm. If everything goes as expected, congratulations, you are pregnant!
