The final and critical phase of the in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedure, consisting of the ultrasound-guided deposition of one or more embryos into the uterine cavity through the cervical canal using a flexible transfer catheter. It is generally an outpatient, painless procedure that does not require anesthetic sedation. It is also known as embryo transfer technology.

Examples
The ERA aims to determine the ideal timing for embryo transfer through the analysis of gene expression in endometrial tissue, intending to improve implantation and live birth rates. 
Additional randomized controlled trials would provide greater insight by increasing the patient population under 35 and by comprehensively comparing the results of PGT-A tested embryo transfers with the traditional method against personalized embryo transfer based on the endometrial receptivity analysis.
