Frozen Embryo Transfer
What is a Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET)?
A Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) is a procedure where an embryo, previously created and frozen during a past IVF cycle, is carefully thawed and placed into the woman’s uterus.
This means:
No need for another round of hormone injections or egg retrieval.
It can be done using your natural cycle, hormonal support, or ovulation induction, depending on your body’s needs.
Why Are Embryos Frozen? During IVF, it’s common to create more than one healthy embryo. In most cases, only one embryo is transferred to reduce the risks of multiple pregnancy. The extra embryos are frozen for future use.
By freezing embryos:
We safeguard future chances of pregnancy.
We help avoid the risks associated with transferring multiple embryos at once.
Benefits of Frozen Embryo Transfer Multiple chances from one IVF cycle: If the first transfer doesn’t lead to pregnancy, we can use a frozen embryo in a future cycle.
Less physical and emotional strain: You skip another round of hormone stimulation and egg retrieval.
More cost-effective: Since embryos are already created, the process is quicker and often more affordable.
Flexible timing: You can plan the transfer when you’re physically and emotionally ready.
