Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET)
Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) is a process where embryos from a previous IVF cycle are thawed and transferred into the uterus. This allows patients to use embryos from previous cycles without undergoing stimulation and egg retrieval again, offering flexibility and convenience in the IVF process.
Whom is FET For?
FET is suitable for:
- Individuals who have surplus embryos from a previous IVF cycle
- Couples looking to expand their family after a successful IVF cycle
- Women needing to delay pregnancy for medical or personal reasons
FET Process
- Embryo Thawing: Frozen embryos are carefully thawed and monitored for quality.
- Uterine Preparation: Hormones prepare the uterus lining for embryo implantation.
- Embryo Transfer: The embryo is transferred into the uterus.
- Pregnancy Test: After a waiting period, a pregnancy test determines success.
Success Rates and Advantages
FET offers comparable success rates to fresh embryo transfer, making it a popular choice for IVF patients.
