Step 5: Embryo transfer

Embryos are placed into the woman's womb 3 - 5 days after egg retrieval and fertilization.
The procedure is done in the doctor's office while the woman is awake. The doctor inserts a thin tube (catheter) containing the embryos into the woman's va**na, through the cervix, and up into the womb. If an embryo sticks to (implants) in the lining of the womb and grows, pregnancy results.
More than one embryo may be placed into the womb at the same time, which can lead to twins, triplets, or more. The exact number of embryos transferred is a complex issue that depends on many factors, especially the woman's age.
Unused embryos may be frozen and implanted or donated at a later date.
