Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET)

Why preserve embryos after IVF? The answer really is: Why not?

Thanks to our world-class embryologists (who have some of the best fertilization rates in the world!), one “fresh” IVF cycle often results in multiple embryos for a family. Freezing any unused embryos afterward is a smart, forward-thinking choice and one we recommend. If at any point you decide to grow your family again—even years later—you can lessen the financial and emotional burden with a frozen embryo transfer (FET) instead of another round of IVF.

Quality embryos
The way our embryologists freeze embryos results in 95% survival and almost no loss of quality when thawed.

High success rates
Our “fresh” IVF cycle success rates are some of the highest, and our frozen embryo transfer rates are too.

Preservation method
A “flash-freezing” method called vitrification lets embryos chill rapidly to prevent formation of harmful ice crystals.

Frozen embryo transfers are much simpler than an IVF cycle.

If you had or are going to have in-vitro fertilization (IVF), the frozen embryo transfer cycle will feel easy in comparison. You can expect an ultrasound at the start and you will be prescribed a few medications to take for several weeks. Depending on your history, you might be prescribed a few medications to take for several weeks. These meds will help prepare and optimize your uterus for a pregnancy. Once everything looks good, we’ll perform the transfer—and celebrate the results right along with you.
