Ep 162 Optimizing Embryo Transfer Success: Your Questions Answered

How do you make an embryo stick? Is there anything you can do to improve embryo transfer success? And how do you know which advice is science-backed versus fertility folklore?

In this special solo Q&A episode of Brave & Curious, Dr. Lora Shahine answers the questions patients ask most often when preparing for an embryo transfer.

What really matters during an IVF embryo transfer? Using real questions from Instagram, YouTube, and her own practice, she walks listeners through fresh vs. frozen embryo transfer, what happens on transfer day, whether you need a full bladder, lying down afterward, Valium use, pineapple cores, French fries, genetic testing, ERA testing, and how uterine lining preparation actually works.

Listeners will come away with a clearer understanding of embryo transfer success rates, frozen embryo transfer protocols, and implantation timing, and get their real questions answered.

In this episode you'll hear:

  • [1:27] What should I expect on transfer day?
  • [8:00] What happens post-transfer?
  • [9:35] Funny myths: pineapple cores & McDonalds french fries
  • [13:46] Fresh vs. frozen transfer myths
  • [20:18] Pre-transfer testing and ERA
  • [24:37] Natural vs. medicated transfer protocols
  • [28:30] Conclusion & final thoughts
