Does the timing of mock embryo transfer affect in vitro fertilization implantation and pregnancy rates?
The timing of a mock embryo transfer does not affect in vitro fertilization implantation or pregnancy rates. Performing a mock embryo transfer at the time of oocyte retrieval, 3 to 5 days before embryo transfer, does not have a deleterious effect on the endometrium.
