What is frozen embryo transfer?
FET is a relatively new type of fertility treatment. This procedure takes embryos that have been frozen for a period of time and replaces them in patient’s uterus after they have been thawed. FET is a relatively non-invasive procedure, which is why many couples choose to have it performed. It can be successfully performed on women who are experiencing either natural or controlled menstrual cycles.
The preparation for frozen embryo transfer:
If all is well; patient will start her oestrogen tablets (usually Oestradiol). Patient will be advised of the dosage required by the nursing staff at that time. Patient will return for a scan 8-10 days after the commencement of the tablet treatment. The scan will indicate whether the womb lining is growing sufficiently thick. Depending on these results, doctor may have to adjust the amount of tablets or even start patient on skin patches to ensure the correct development of the womb lining.
It may therefore be necessary to arrange further scans and blood tests as necessary until the womb lining is ready to receive the embryos.
Once the womb lining is at least 8-10 mm thick, patient will be asked to start inserting either 2 progesterone (Cyclogest 400mgm) pessaries every night or a daily intra muscular injection of Gestone. Patient should continue with the oestrogen tablets and after 3 days of pessaries/injections patient will be ready for embryo transfer.
Patient will have discussed and decided on the appropriate amount of embryos to thaw at patient’s first visit with the nursing staff. The embryologists will then select out the best embryos that have survived the freezing and thawing process and transfer the best 2 embryos.
