Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) is the process of thawing and transferring previously frozen embryos into the uterus. This method is highly beneficial for patients who have undergone IVF treatment but had their embryo transfer postponed.
FET can offer higher pregnancy success rates compared to fresh embryo transfer, as it allows for a more natural uterine environment. Additionally, since FET is performed in a cycle where hormone levels are more stable, it carries a lower risk of complications.
The successful use of previously frozen embryos helps reduce IVF treatment costs and allows for additional attempts if needed.
