frozen embryo transfer
WHAT IS FROZEN EMBRYO TRANSFER (FET)
Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) is an advanced IVF procedure where previously frozen embryos are thawed and transferred into the uterus to achieve pregnancy. These embryos are typically created during an earlier IVF cycle and preserved using advanced freezing techniques.
At Freya Fertility, we use state-of-the-art cryopreservation methods to ensure high embryo survival rates and improved pregnancy outcomes. FET allows couples to attempt pregnancy without undergoing the full IVF cycle again.
FET can be beneficial for patients who:
- Have frozen embryos from a previous IVF cycle
- Want to delay pregnancy for medical or personal reasons
- Experienced unsuccessful fresh embryo transfer
- Have conditions like OHSS (Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome)
- Prefer a more natural and controlled cycle
WHAT IS FET?
In Frozen Embryo Transfer, embryos that were previously created and frozen are thawed and placed into the uterus at the optimal time for implantation. This process eliminates the need for ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval again, making it less physically demanding.
Initial Consultation & Assessment
Our fertility experts evaluate your medical history, previous IVF cycle details, and overall reproductive health to plan the best FET cycle.
Endometrial Preparation
The uterine lining is prepared using hormonal medications or natural cycle monitoring to ensure it is receptive for embryo implantation.
Monitoring & Cycle Tracking
Regular ultrasounds and hormone tests are conducted to track the thickness of the endometrium and determine the ideal time for transfer.
Embryo Thawing
Frozen embryos are carefully thawed in our advanced lab, ensuring maximum viability and survival.
Embryo Transfer Procedure
A selected healthy embryo is gently transferred into the uterus using a thin catheter. This is a quick and painless procedure.
Post-Transfer Care
You will receive medications and guidance to support implantation and early pregnancy.
Pregnancy Test & Follow-Up
A blood test is conducted after 10–14 days to confirm pregnancy, followed by regular monitoring.

What is Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) and how does it work?
FET involves thawing previously frozen embryos and transferring them into the uterus during a carefully timed cycle to achieve pregnancy.
Is FET more successful than fresh embryo transfer?
In many cases, FET offers equal or even higher success rates because the uterus is better prepared for implantation.
Is the FET procedure painful?
No, the procedure is generally painless and does not require anesthesia.
How long does the FET process take?
The complete cycle usually takes 2–3 weeks, depending on the treatment plan.
What are the chances of success in FET?
Success rates depend on factors like age, embryo quality, and uterine health, but FET has shown excellent outcomes in many patients.
