- Embroys are graded and selected for ET and cryopreservation
- Embryo selected for ET pooled in a cleavage medium
- patient is placed in Lithotomy position,using speculum the cervix is exposed and washed with normal saline
- Meanwhile ET catheter is prepare in the lab.ET catheter has two parts-an outer and inner catheter
- a syringe is attached to inner cather tightly
- hand over the outer catheter to the clinician
