Fertility and reproductive specialists are invited to join a live, online chat event entitled, “Transvaginal Ultrasound Transfers” at www.CookARTLab.com. The event will be held on Tuesday, October 13 at 7:30 p.m. ET and led by Dr. Marwan M. Shaykh, an expert in the field of fertility with an emphasis on assisted reproductive technologies (A.R.T.).

During the live chat, Dr. Shaykh will provide an overview of procedures and techniques used for embryo transfer under transvaginal ultrasound guidance. Participants will walk away from the live chat event with and understanding of the benefits of transvaginal ultrasound guidance over the blind clinical touch or the abdominal ultrasound guidance procedures. Dr. Shaykh will also review the role of the appropriate catheter for embryo transfer under vaginal ultrasound guidance.

“Since the embryo transfer process plays such a significant role in a successful assisted reproduction cycle, I am excited to share with fertility and reproductive specialists the most recent research on the ultrasound method and its rate of success,” said Dr. Marwan M. Shaykh, Director of the Assisted Fertility Program in Jacksonville, Fla. “The live chat will deliver effective techniques and relevant research to specialists performing embryo transfers, while enabling an interactive discussion between colleagues.”

Following Dr. Shaykh’s presentation, attendees will have the opportunity to ask specific questions about best practices, execution and success rates for the procedure. Those planning to join the chat are encouraged to post questions within the discussion forum on www.CookARTLab.com ahead of the event.
