What Is Mock Embryo Transfer?

Mock embryo transfer (also known as trial transfer) is a procedure that helps prepare a patient’s uterus for actual embryo implantation in an IVF cycle. It involves passing a catheter through the cervix into the uterus without embryos, unlike an actual embryo transfer. This procedure assesses the size & shape of the uterine cavity and measures cervical muscle resistance, helping doctors plan better for actual embryo transfers.

Benefits Of Mock Embryo Transfer

The main benefit of a Mock Embryo Transfer (MET) is that it provides valuable insights otherwise unavailable before an actual embryo transfer. This helps doctors better understand the uterine position and plan accordingly, increasing the chances of successful conception. Moreover, mock transfers are less invasive as they do not involve embryos, reducing the potential risks associated with embryo transfers.

When Is It Recommended?

Mock embryo transfer is usually recommended if you have had unsuccessful IVF cycles due to poor response or anatomical abnormalities like fibroids or polyps. Doctors may also recommend this procedure if there are doubts about how your uterus will respond to implantation.

Chances Of Conception After Mock Embryo Transfer

Studies on couples attempting pregnancy through assisted reproductive technology (ART) have shown higher success rates compared to those without ART. However, more clinical trials involving larger groups of patients are required for conclusive results regarding the effectiveness of this procedure.

Risks Associated With Mock Embryo Transfers

Mock embryo transfers are generally safe, but there may be a slight risk of infection or cramping during or after the procedure, requiring medical attention. Risks may increase for patients with conditions like endometriosis or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). It’s important to consult an expert to determine if you are suitable for this treatment.
