Frozen Embryo Transfer

This treatment is available for couples who have embryos frozen. Patients can store excess good quality embryos after transfer. Embryos are frozen and stored in liquid nitrogen at -196˚C. The menstrual cycle is monitored using blood tests and ultrasound to determine ovulation. Two, three or five days after ovulation, frozen embryos are thawed and transferred to the woman’s uterus. It is common practice to transfer one or two only in a treatment cycle.
