FET Treatment
During an IVF or ICSI cycle, some patients will have embryos they will not use immediately and can freeze them for future use. Your entire family could be made through one round of IVF treatment.
A Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) Cycle is a simple treatment cycle that involves thawing a frozen embryo and transferring it back to the womb. FET cycles are very straightforward and only require a low level of medication and monitoring. There is no ovarian stimulation and no egg collection procedure.
Our team are specialists in vitrification, and over 98% of vitrified embryos survive and are suitable for transfer under our team’s care.

How Successful is FET Treatment?
