For pregnancy to occur, the developing embryo must implant into the lining of
the uterus (endometrium). Research shows that hyaluronan plays an important role in
assisting embryos to implant. Hyaluronan is a naturally occurring substance found in
the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes.

The(https://www.cityfertility.com.au) 354) are placed in a small volume of
embryos that are selected for implantation
hyaluronan transfer medium. When the transfer procedure takes place, the embryos are
loaded into a catheter, along with a tiny amount of the transfer medium, and released
into the uterus. Hyaluronan-enriched transfer does not guarantee implantation, but may
assist it.
There is some evidence to suggest that females aged over 38 show the most benefit,
with a significant increase in pregnancy rates, when a transfer medium with hyaluronan
is used (Balaban et al., 2004). There have also been studies indicating embryos that
were frozen and thawed may have increased pregnancy rates through the use of a
hyaluronan-enriched transfer medium.
The potential fertility improvement that this type of treatment may yield depends on
the woman’s age, diagnosis and the initial semen analysis, and should be discussed
with your specialist.
City Fertility was one of the first clinics in Australia to introduce embryo transfer media
for improved implantation. If you would like to discuss such a procedure as part of your
options, please contact the City Fertility scientists or your treating specialist.
