About Tubal Embryo Transfer

Tubal Embryo Transfer (TET) is a specialized assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedure performed by an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist. It involves the direct transfer of a fertilized embryo into a woman's fallopian tube, rather than the uterus, to facilitate natural implantation. This technique is often considered when there are challenges with uterine receptivity or in specific cases of infertility. The procedure is minimally invasive, typically performed under light sedation, and aims to mimic the natural journey of an embryo to the uterus, potentially improving the chances of a successful pregnancy. It requires precise timing and is part of a broader in-vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle.

Key Highlights
