Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET)

Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) is an advanced assisted reproductive technique where previously frozen embryos are thawed and transferred into the uterus during an optimal cycle. FET is widely used in modern fertility treatments to increase pregnancy success rates while reducing the need for repeated ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval.

At DYU Advanced Fertility & Smart IVF Center, we offer cutting-edge FET protocols designed to optimize implantation and successful pregnancy outcomes.

‍

Who Needs Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET)?

FET is recommended for individuals and couples experiencing:

• Previous IVF cycles with remaining high-quality frozen embryos
• Patients seeking to avoid multiple ovarian stimulations
• Couples requiring Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) before transfer
• Women with endometrial issues requiring synchronization for implantation
• Fertility preservation patients who have frozen embryos from earlier cycles
• Patients recovering from previous unsuccessful fresh embryo transfers

‍

The FET Process

Step 1: Preparation for Transfer

• A personalized treatment plan is created based on the patient's cycle and medical history.
• Medications such as estrogen and progesterone are prescribed to prepare the uterus for embryo implantation.
• Regular ultrasound scans and blood tests monitor endometrial lining thickness and hormone levels.

Step 2: Thawing & Selecting the Embryo

• Frozen embryos are carefully thawed using advanced cryopreservation techniques.
• The highest quality embryo(s) is selected for transfer based on development and grading.

Step 3: Embryo Transfer Procedure

• A thin catheter is used to place the embryo into the uterus under ultrasound guidance.
• The procedure is quick, painless, and requires no anesthesia.

Step 4: Post-Transfer Care & Pregnancy Test

• Medications such as progesterone support implantation.
• A Beta hCG blood test is performed 10-14 days after transfer to confirm pregnancy.

Success Rates of Frozen Embryo Transfer

FET success rates are comparable to or higher than fresh embryo transfers, with improved pregnancy outcomes due to better uterine receptivity. On average:

• 60-70% success rate per transfer for women under 35
• 50-60% success rate for women aged 35-40
• 30-40% success rate for women over 40
• Higher success rates when using PGT-screened embryos

Benefits of FET Over Fresh Transfers

• Higher implantation rates due to better endometrial receptivity
• Lower risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS)
• Ability to genetically screen embryos before transfer (PGT)
• Less stress on the body compared to fresh cycles
• More flexibility in choosing the optimal time for pregnancy
