Day 5 embryo transfer is an in vitro fertilization technique with a high success rate. Therefore, this technique is becoming a trend at IVF centers, opening up new hope for infertile couples.1. What is day 5 embryo transfer?
Embryo transfer is a step of the in vitro fertilization process. Once the egg is fertilized, it becomes an embryo.
Previously, about 48 hours after fertilization, the embryo will be inserted into the mother's uterus to start implantation. But now, people can carry out embryo culture to the blastocyst stage (on the 5th day after fertilization) and then put it into the mother's uterus, this technique is called day 5 embryo transfer.
2. After embryo transfer on day 5, when is it appropriate to take a test?
Pregnancy test strip is a test method for reliable accuracy, based on the concentration of pregnancy hormone HCG in the mother's urine, this concentration reaches the highest point after 7 days of conception. However, with the embryo transfer method, the mother needs to have a very large amount of HCG to get pregnant, so this result may be misleading.
“When is the 5th day embryo transfer appropriate?” The best time is 14 days. If after 5 days of embryo transfer test 1 bar, you should not worry, because that is still not the best time, the results may be erroneous. You should wait until 14 days and buy high-quality reputable test strips.
In addition, to know most accurately if you are pregnant or not, you should go to the hospital to conduct a blood test to measure beta HCG. This method gives accurate results both qualitatively as well as determining fetal development. After returning the results, the doctor will also give the appropriate advice and regimen for the mother.
