Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET)
A carefully timed, physician-performed embryo transfer using previously frozen embryos.
-
Your embryos are precious so we never rush when it comes to embryo transfers.
-
At Aurea, Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) focuses on precise timing, careful monitoring, and physician-led decision-making togive your embyos the highest chance of implantation.
What is FET?
FET allows embryos to be transferred in a cycle that is separate from egg retrieval. This approach gives the body time to recover and allows the uterine lining to be prepared under stable conditions before transfer.
FET may be recommended after:
-
IVF with freeze-all embryos
-
Embryo genetic testing (PGT)
-
Prior unsuccessful fresh transfers
-
Egg freezing followed by later embryo creation
How an FET Cycle Works at Aurea? 3 Easy Steps:
01
Cycle Preparation & Monitoring
Your Aurea physician designs a personalized uterine preparation plan using hormone monitoring and ultrasound to support optimal lining development.
02
Embryo Thaw
On transfer day, a selected embryo is carefully thawed by our embryology team using established cryopreservation protocols.
03
Embryo Transfer
The embryo is gently transferred into the uterus by your physician using ultrasound guidance.
Planning Ahead
If your embryos were created through IVF
Embryo selection decisions may be informed by prior lab assessment or genetic testing.
If embryos were genetically tested
PGT results can help guide which embryo to transfer.
If embryos were created from frozen eggs
Egg thaw and fertilization occur before planning FET.
