FET – Frozen Embryo Transfer

Welcome to Samyam Fertility and Medical Center, where we specialize in providing advanced fertility treatments to help individuals and couples achieve their dream of parenthood. Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) is a widely used assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedure that offers flexibility, convenience, and high success rates for patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. Our dedicated team of fertility specialists is committed to providing personalized care and state-of-the-art FET protocols to optimize your chances of success.

Understanding Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET):

Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) is a procedure in which embryos that have been cryopreserved (frozen) during a previous IVF cycle are thawed and transferred into the woman’s uterus for implantation. FET offers several advantages over fresh embryo transfer, including the ability to optimize the timing of embryo transfer, reduce the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), and increase the likelihood of successful implantation and pregnancy.

Key Components of Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET):

• Embryo Cryopreservation: Following egg retrieval and fertilization during an IVF cycle, excess embryos may be cryopreserved (frozen) for future use. Embryos are carefully assessed for quality and viability before being selected for cryopreservation. The freezing process involves rapidly cooling the embryos to ultra-low temperatures to preserve their viability for future transfer.

• Thawing of Embryos: When you’re ready to undergo Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET), the cryopreserved embryos are thawed in the laboratory under controlled conditions. Our experienced embryologists use specialized techniques to carefully thaw the embryos and ensure their viability for transfer.

• Endometrial Preparation: Prior to embryo transfer, the lining of the uterus (endometrium) is prepared to create an optimal environment for embryo implantation. This may involve hormone medications, such as estrogen and progesterone, to thicken the endometrial lining and synchronize it with the timing of embryo transfer.

• Embryo Transfer Procedure: Once the endometrial lining is sufficiently thickened, the thawed embryos are transferred into the uterus using a thin catheter that is guided through the cervix under ultrasound guidance. The procedure is quick, painless, and minimally invasive, similar to a pelvic exam.

• Post-Transfer Support: After the embryo transfer, patients are advised to rest briefly before resuming normal activities. Our team will provide guidance on post-transfer care, including any medications or lifestyle recommendations to support the implantation process and optimize the chances of conception.

Success Rates and Outcomes:

Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) offers high success rates comparable to fresh embryo transfer, with the added benefits of flexibility and convenience. Success rates for FET vary depending on factors such as the quality of the thawed embryos, the age of the woman, and the underlying cause of infertility. Our experienced team at Samyam Fertility and Medical Center will work closely with you to discuss realistic expectations and potential outcomes based on your individual circumstances.
