Preparation for the embryo transfer procedure into the uterine cavity

A careful and thoughtful preparation for embryo transfer into the uterine cavity plays a key role in increasing the chances of successful implantation and pregnancy. This step requires not only adherence to medical recommendations but also special attention to your health, lifestyle, and emotional state. Below, you will find detailed guidelines to help create the most favorable conditions for the procedure and to bring you calm and confidence on this important day.

Preparation a few days before the transfer

2 to 3 days before the scheduled date, it is recommended to adjust your diet and lifestyle so that your body is in a comfortable and balanced state:

• Eliminate foods that promote flatulence, bloating, and constipation (legumes, cabbage, carbonated drinks, fast food, excess sweets). Stable functioning of the gastrointestinal tract will help avoid discomfort and tension in the abdominal area.
• Be mindful of your fluid intake: drink enough pure water in small amounts, avoid overeating, and opt for a light dinner in the evening.
• If necessary, include light, high-fiber foods in your diet to improve digestion.
• Try to get enough sleep and reduce your stress level: light walks, breathing exercises, or calm activities will help maintain your emotional balance.

Preparation on the day of embryo transfer

On the day of the transfer, it is important to pay attention to your hygiene and organizational aspects to ensure the procedure goes as smoothly as possible:

• In the morning, take a warm shower. This will help you feel fresh and relaxed.
• Do not use makeup, perfume, hair spray, creams, or other cosmetic products. This is related to sterility protocols and the need to exclude the influence of odors and chemicals on the transfer room environment.
• Prepare all necessary documents, administrative papers, analysis results in advance, and bring them with you. This will help you avoid delays and stressful situations.

Important medical recommendations for the day of the procedure

For the procedure to be successful, certain medical instructions must be followed on the transfer day:

• The transfer is performed when the bladder is full. This allows better visualization of the uterus during ultrasound check. About 1 liter of non-carbonated water should be drunk one hour before the scheduled time, and try not to urinate until the procedure is finished.
• Two hours before the transfer, it is recommended to take two analgesic tablets if prescribed by your treating physician. This will help reduce any potential discomfort and eliminate unnecessary tension.
• Continue taking all prescribed medications strictly according to the prescribed treatment schedule. Arbitrary stopping or dose modification can affect the efficacy of the treatment and the condition of the endometrium.
• On the day of transfer, do not use anticoagulant medications (Clexane, Cardiomagnyl 75, Actovegin, Curantil 75), unless your doctor has given specific instructions. This is important to maintain optimal conditions for embryo implantation.

Psychological and emotional preparation

Aside from medical recommendations, the psycho-emotional state of the patient is very important. Before the procedure, it is important to be mentally calm and confident:

• Try to organize your day to avoid any rush and emotional stress. It is better to arrive at the clinic early.
• Avoid discussions that may cause anxiety or doubts. Communicating with supportive loved ones will help you stay positive.
• Remember that the transfer procedure is usually quick, painless, and does not require a long recovery period.

End of preparation and waiting for the procedure

Following the above recommendations will allow you to approach embryo transfer in the best possible conditions, both physically and emotionally. Your attention, discipline, and calmness are important elements for the overall success of the program.
