Frozen embryo transfer (FET) is a procedure in which previously frozen embryos are thawed and implanted into a woman's uterus to achieve pregnancy. FET is commonly used in conjunction with in vitro fertilization (IVF) when embryos are available from a prior cycle. The process involves preparing the uterus with hormone treatments (e.g., estrogen and progesterone) or in a natural cycle to optimize the chances of implantation. Once the uterus is ready, the best-quality frozen embryos are selected and transferred. FET offers benefits like avoiding the need for egg retrieval and reducing the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, while maintaining high pregnancy success rates.

At evelyn, we are specialized in natural cycle FET. A natural cycle FET avoids usage of eostrogen and vaginal progesterone medications. Consult with our fertility specialist to check your suitability for a natural cycle FET.
