Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) is a fertility treatment procedure that
involves the transfer of previously cryopreserved embryos into a woman’s uterus.
Cryopreserved embryos are embryos that have been frozen and stored for future
use. The procedure is also commonly known as Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET).
FET is often used in assisted reproductive technologies such as In Vitro
Fertilization (IVF), where the embryo is first fertilized in a laboratory setting and then
cryopreserved for future use. In a FET procedure, the frozen embryo is thawed
and then placed in the uterus of the woman at a specific time in her menstrual cycle
when the uterine lining is receptive to the embryo.
FET is often preferred over fresh embryo transfers because it allows for more
flexibility in the timing of the transfer and the preparation of the woman’s uterus. It
also offers a higher success rate in certain cases, such as in women with irregular
menstrual cycles or in those who are undergoing cancer treatments that may affect
their fertility.
Overall, FET is a safe and effective way to help couples achieve pregnancy, and
it has become a widely used technique in modern fertility treatments.
