Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET)

The process of frozen embryo transfer is relatively simple.

If you are having regular cycles, we can detect when to transfer your embryos using a urine ovulation prediction kit (eg ClearPlan). Alternatively we can give you a combination of injections, tablets and pessaries that will prepare the lining of your womb.

On the day before, or the day of your planned transfer, the embryologists will thaw out a suitable number of your embryos (the number thawed will depend on several factors).

The embryo transfer procedure itself is exactly the same as previously described (Click here to view IVF procedure)
