Management of Difficult Embryo Transfers

  • Chapter
Human Embryo Transfer

  • 832 Accesses

Abstract

Difficult embryo transfers are associated with reduced pregnancy and live birth rates in IVF cycles. Numerous factors including physiological and anatomical variations can influence the ease of an embryo transfer. In this chapter, we review how to perform a uterine evaluation, the variables that influence an embryo transfer, and how to address obstacles to a successful transfer.
