Frozen Embryo Transfer

Frozen Embryo Transfer

Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) is a process used in fertility treatments where previously frozen embryos are thawed and placed into a woman's uterus. FET is one aspect of in vitro fertilization (IVF), a process that creates embryos by fertilizing eggs outside of the body. 

Our Procedure for Frozen Embryo Transfer Will Include:

  • Frozen embryos are carefully thawed and placed into the uterus when it's most likely to achieve pregnancy.
  • Frozen embryos can be safely stored for several years.
  • Embryos can be frozen at different stages: 
            * Day 1: The day after fertilization
            * Day 3: A few days later when they start dividing 
            * Day 5: When they reach a more developed stage called blastocyst.
  • Before the transfer process the uterus lining is prepared with medication or by monitoring the natural menstrual cycle.
  • The success rates may vary depending on various factors like the woman’s age, the quality of the embryos, and the condition of the uterus.
