Importance of embryo transfer technique in maximizing assisted reproductive outcomes  William B. Schoolcraft, M.D.  Fertility and Sterility  Volume 105, Issue 4, Pages 855-860 (April 2016) DOI: 10.1016/j.fertnstert.2016.02.022 Copyright © 2016 American Society for Reproductive Medicine Terms and Conditions

Figure 1 A successful ET. (A) The soft, echogenic catheter is advanced through the internal os into the uterus. (B) The tip of the catheter is withdrawn slightly to ensure proper positioning from the fundus. (C) The plunger on the syringe is depressed and the contents of the catheter expelled into the proper location within the uterus while carefully withdrawing the catheter slightly. (D) The catheter is slowly withdrawn, maintaining pressure on the depressed syringe plunger to avoid disrupting placement of the embryos/catheter contents. White arrow indicates catheter tip; black arrow indicates catheter contents after transfer.
