Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) Following an IVF cycle there may be enough embryos produced to freeze for use at a later date. Not all embryos produced are suitable to freeze, and of those frozen only 60-70% will survive the freeze/thaw process.
The advantages are:
- It maximises the chance of a pregnancy from a single stimulated IVF cycle;
- It reduces the risk of a multiple pregnancy by having fewer embryos transferred at a time;
- No drugs are required on a frozen embryo transfer cycle, if you ovulate naturally, resulting in a simpler, more natural cycle of treatment;
- It is less costly than another IVF cycle.
During the IVF cycle it is recorded when the embryos were frozen following the egg collection. When the embryos are used in a subsequent treatment cycle, blood tests will be needed to time ovulation and to coordinate the age of your embryos with the development of the lining in the uterus. This ensures that the embryos are transferred into the uterus at the time that the endometrium is most receptive for implantation. If you have previously had embryos frozen at another clinic, it is an easy process to arrange for the frozen embryos to be transferred to Repromed.
