6.6 Your Embryo Transfer Trip: Preparing for a Safe and Stress-Free Experience

With all the proper use of medications, we have finally arrived at the critical step of embryo transfer. Thank you for your effort—you made it! This is the moment when the doctor carefully places the embryo into your uterus, hoping it will stick, grow, and lead to the magic of an IVF pregnancy.

For intended parents, these embryos are incredibly precious—often the result of years of effort, hope, and emotional investment. This is a life, full of love and possibilities. That’s why preparing carefully, prioritizing safety, and ensuring a stress-free experience is so important.

At GSHC Surrogacy & Egg Donation, we are here to support you every step of the way. Our case managers handle all travel arrangements, including flights, hotel, and transportation, so you can focus on a smooth experience. We’re available for any support you may need.

✅ Essential Travel Guidelines for Surrogate Mothers

1. Follow Your Travel Itinerary

  • Case managers coordinate flights and accommodations for optimal convenience.
  • Arrive early at the airport to avoid unexpected delays.
  • Have a backup plan in case of rescheduling.

2. Safety Precautions While Traveling

  • Avoid lifting heavy luggage—use a wheeled suitcase or request assistance.
  • Walk carefully in airports, hotels, and clinics to prevent accidental falls.
  • Stay hydrated and eat balanced meals to support a healthy environment for embryo implantation.
  • If using rideshare or public transport, verify driver details and remain aware of surroundings.

3. Secure Childcare Arrangements in Advance

  • Most fertility clinics do not allow children during the embryo transfer procedure.
  • Arrange reliable childcare with family, babysitters, or professional services.
  • Trusted platforms like Care.com and UrbanSitter offer vetted childcare providers.

4. Pack All Required Medications

  • Carry all prescribed medications, syringes, and storage supplies.
  • Use an insulated bag for refrigerated medications.
  • Keep medications in a carry-on bag to prevent loss or damage.

5. Maintain Scheduling Flexibility

  • Some fertility clinics require 1–2 extra days for monitoring.
  • Be prepared for adjustments to appointment times.

6. Bring a Support Person (If Possible)

  • A partner, friend, or relative can provide emotional and logistical support.
  • If traveling alone, inform GSHC Surrogacy for additional assistance.

7. Prioritize Rest & Recovery

  • Get adequate rest before and after the transfer.
  • If exploring a new city, avoid overexertion and prioritize relaxation.

❌ Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Ignoring Travel Safety

  • Do not carry heavy bags—this may impact recovery.
  • Avoid crowded or high-risk areas to reduce unnecessary stress.

2. Missing Medication Schedules

  • Set reminders for medication timing.
  • If unsure about dosage or storage, consult your fertility clinic.

3. Delaying Childcare Planning

  • Arrange childcare well in advance to prevent last-minute stress.

4. Not Allowing Enough Travel Time

  • Plan for early arrival at airports and clinic appointments.
  • Check flight schedules and weather conditions to avoid disruptions.
