Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET)

FET is a valuable option in IVF that offers several benefits:

1. Flexibility in Timing: FET allows you to schedule the transfer at a time that suits you best, which can be especially helpful if you need to focus on your health or personal circumstances before proceeding with pregnancy.

2. Improved Success Rates: Using frozen embryos can lead to higher success rates in IVF. Studies show that embryos thawed from cryopreservation often implant more successfully, leading to healthier pregnancies.

3. Reduced Ovarian Stimulation: FET eliminates the need for additional ovarian stimulation, reducing the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) and minimising the associated side effects.

4. Better Control Over the Cycle: By transferring embryos at a later date, doctors can better synchronise the transfer with your uterine lining, enhancing the chances of successful implantation.

5. Preservation of Embryos: Freezing embryos preserves your unused embryos for future use. This means that if the current cycle does not result in pregnancy, you still have viable options for future attempts.

6. Healthier Embryos: Sometimes, freezing and thawing can help in selecting the most viable embryos, as some studies suggest that the process may naturally select embryos that are more likely to succeed.
