FET is a procedure that involves thawing previously frozen embryos and transferring them into a woman’s uterus to achieve pregnancy. This process follows the freezing of extra embryos from a prior cycle of IVF.

FET is suitable for individuals or couples with surplus embryos from an IVF cycle, those who have faced IVF failure, or those looking to expand their family after a successful IVF cycle. It’s also an option for those undergoing fertility preservation before medical treatments.

Unlike fresh transfers that occur shortly after egg retrieval and fertilization, FET uses embryos that have been frozen and stored. This allows the woman’s body time to recover from ovarian stimulation and can be scheduled at an optimal time for her uterine lining.

Success rates for FET can vary based on factors like the age of the woman at the time of egg retrieval, embryo quality, and uterine receptivity. Gunasheela boasts competitive success rates, thanks to our advanced freezing and thawing techniques.

Benefits include a less physically demanding process compared to a fresh IVF cycle, the opportunity to time the transfer for when the uterus is most receptive, and potentially higher success rates due to the natural state of the uterus during FET cycles.

Embryos are frozen using a rapid freezing technique known as vitrification, which prevents ice crystal formation and preserves the integrity of the embryos. They are then stored in liquid nitrogen until ready for use.

Preparation involves hormonal treatment to prepare the uterine lining for implantation, monitoring of the lining’s development, and timing the thaw and transfer of the embryo(s) to coincide with the optimal implantation window.

FET is considered a safe procedure with few risks. Potential risks are similar to those of a fresh IVF cycle and might include reactions to hormonal treatments and the emotional and physical impact of the treatment process.

Embryos can be stored for many years without significant deterioration in quality. The decision on how long to store embryos often depends on individual circumstances and regulatory guidelines.

Yes, FET can be done using donor embryos. Gunasheela offers comprehensive counseling and support for individuals and couples considering donor embryos for their fertility journey.

The cost of an FET cycle can vary based on individual treatment plans and does not include the initial IVF cycle. Gunasheela provides transparent pricing information and financial counseling.

Gunasheela offers holistic support services, including psychological counseling, nutritional advice, and stress management techniques, to support patients’ emotional and physical well-being throughout the FET process.
