Embryo transfer is the final stage of the In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) process, during which one or more embryos previously cultured in the laboratory are carefully placed into the woman’s uterus. To increase the chances of implantation and pregnancy, it is essential to properly prepare the endometrium — the inner lining of the uterus where the embryo will implant.
At Advanced Fertility Center Cancún, we provide a comprehensive approach that combines technology, medical expertise, and personalized follow-up to ensure the uterus is in the best possible condition to receive the embryo.

The transfer can be fresh—at the end of a stimulation cycle—or deferred, when the embryos have been vitrified (frozen) and are stored in our center.
The woman’s body must prepare for a transfer; this is called endometrial preparation.
There are two types of endometrial preparation:
