Dr Jasdev Singh
Embryo Transfer (ET)
Your embryo is placed gently in the womb through a thin tube, guided by ultrasound. It takes a few minutes and usually feels like a smear test.

Placing your embryo in the womb at the right time
Embryo transfer is the final step of an IVF or ICSI cycle. A soft, thin tube carries the embryo through the cervix into the womb. An ultrasound on your tummy helps guide it to the right position.
Many women feel anxious on transfer day. The procedure is quick and calm, and no anaesthetic is needed.
Dr Jasdev will talk through how many embryos to transfer, with the aim of a safe, single pregnancy.
A plan that starts with your results
Your age, history, test results and goals are reviewed before any treatment is suggested.
Clear reasons for each step
You will know why a test or medicine is recommended, what it can do and where its limits are.
Care that stays connected
Reviews are planned around how you respond, your cycle timing and your next decision.
What careful transfer planning gives you
- A transfer timed to your embryo and womb lining
- Clear advice on transferring one embryo or more
- Simple guidance for the days that follow
How your care is planned
Every stage answers three questions: what is happening, why it matters, and what comes next. The plan is reviewed at each stage and adjusted when needed.
Check embryo development and the womb lining

Carry out the transfer with ultrasound guidance
How embryo transfer works
Transfer usually takes place three or five days after egg collection, or in a later frozen cycle. You will be asked to come with a comfortably full bladder, which helps the scan. The embryo is loaded into a fine tube and placed in the womb. You can rest briefly and then go home.
Who may benefit
Every IVF or ICSI cycle ends with an embryo transfer, fresh or frozen. Careful planning matters most after unsuccessful transfers, with a difficult cervix, or with conditions affecting the womb lining.
What to expect
The procedure takes around ten to fifteen minutes. Most women feel only mild pressure. Afterwards you can return to light daily activities. A pregnancy blood test is done about two weeks later.

What couples often ask about transfer
Most couples arrive with several questions. These common ones can help you plan what to ask.
Should we transfer one embryo or two?
Is a fresh or frozen transfer better for us?
Do I need bed rest afterwards?
Is there anything I can do to help implantation?
Your questions about embryo transfer
What is embryo transfer?
It is the step where an embryo created through IVF or ICSI is placed in the womb, using a thin tube and ultrasound guidance.
Who needs an embryo transfer?
Anyone having IVF or ICSI, using either a fresh embryo or one that was frozen. The timing and number of embryos depend on your age and embryo quality.
What is checked before transfer?
The embryo’s development and the thickness and pattern of the womb lining. In frozen cycles, hormone levels may also be checked.
Is embryo transfer painful or risky?
It usually feels like a smear test, with mild pressure or cramps. Serious risks are rare. Transferring more than one embryo raises the chance of twins, which carries more risk in pregnancy.
Why see Dr Jasdev for your transfer?
He plans each transfer around your embryo and lining, explains the choices clearly and supports you through the wait that follows.
How do I book?
Transfers are planned as part of your treatment cycle. Call or WhatsApp the clinic to discuss a fresh or frozen transfer.
