For successful embryo transfer, the recipient female should generally have:

Correct answer: D. A reproductive stage closely synchronized with the donor

  • A. A uterine cycle several weeks ahead of the donor
  • B. A pregnancy older than the transferred embryo
  • C. A corpus luteum absent throughout the cycle
  • D. A reproductive stage closely synchronized with the donor

Explanation

The recipient's uterus must be at a stage that matches the age and developmental requirements of the transferred embryo. Synchronization allows the corpus luteum and uterine secretions to support implantation and early pregnancy.
