Air bubble location inside the uterus after transfer: is the embryo really there?

subject

description

Objective To demonstrate that the location of the air bubble after embryo transfer (ET) does not necessarily indicate the final embryo location. Design Case report. Setting Private clinic. Patient(s) A couple with primary infertility for whom a diagnosis of bicornuate uterus with a very open angle between horns was confirmed. Intervention(s) Laparoscopy and hysteroscopy were performed before an IVF cycle in which a single embryo was replaced. Main Outcome Measure(s) Air bubble image immediately after ET and gestational sac location 3 weeks later. Result(s) Immediately after a single ET, the air bubble was seen in the left uterine horn. Three weeks later, a gestational sac was seen in the right uterine horn. Conclusion(s) The location of the air bubble immediately after ET does not necessarily indicate the final embryo location.
