[QUOTE="jnowack, post: 231487, member: 3954"] It does take a lot of planning especially if you have several donors and are setting up a lot of recips to put embryos in fresh. You have to have the donor's sychronized before you start FSH shots and you need to get the recips to come in heat about the same time you breed the donors (after the FSH). When it comes time to flush the cow they will use a catheter to flush fluid in and out of the uterus. The drain line has a microfilter on it that keeps the embryos and a small amount of fluid to take to the microscope. They will find the embryos and put them in separate dishes to freeze or implant. Hope that answers your question. It is a pretty general expanation to a somewhat complicated procedure. [/QUOTE]
