FET


What is frozen embryo transfer (FET)?

FET also called Frozen Embryo Transfer is the fertility treatment in which a cycle is followed where frozen embryos Frozen-Embryo-Transfer-FETfrom the previous IVF cycle are warmed up and transferred  back into woman’s uterus meaning that there is no need for the other cycle of hormone stimulation or egg collection.


Medication in FET (Frozen embryo Transfer) cycle

  • GnRH agonist (such as Lupron) is given, either mid-luteal (day 21) or overlapping with a birth control pill.
  • Down-regulation is confirmed by ultrasound and blood tests.
  • Estradiol valerate 2 mg twice daily (orally) is started after the period. This dose may need to be increased after monitoring of the uterine lining thickness.
  • When the endometrium has a “good” thickness, progesterone is started (intramuscular shots, or a vaginal product).
  • Embryo transfer is planned for 3-6 days later – depending on the stage of development of the embryos to be transferred.
  • Estrogen and progesterone are continued in the luteal phase.
  • Pregnancy testing is done 9-14 days after transfer – depending on the stage of development of the embryos replaced and the preferences of the fertility clinic.
  • If pregnant, estrogen and progesterone are continued until about 10-15 weeks of pregnancy and then weaned off.



Why Freezing of the embryo is done?

Freezing of embryo is done to increase the chances of pregnancy for every hormone stimulation cycle and egg collection.

During a fresh IVF Cycle, sometimes we will be able to create more than a single embryo but there are severe risks associated with this chances of multiple pregnancies and due to this we don’t transfer more than one embryo at a time. Therefore, it is recommended to transfer one and freeze the other embryos obtained during the IVF cycles that can be used during the FET cycle in future.


How successful is FET?

Success rates for FET cycles vary from couple to couple by the chosen program handling the case. Some of the programs have low pregnancy success rates whereas other IVF treatments have live birth rates of over 50 % per transfer procedure for women under 35 for frozen-thawed transfer cycle.

On an average, the success rate is near about 30 % but it widely depends on the age of the women’s eggs when the embryos from the egg are frozen. Therefore, when the age of the women is 38 and the embryos are frozen from the women’s first IVF cycle than the women of age 42 , the chances of fertility are more .


How are the Remaining embryos used?

After the FET procedure, once you are satisfied that your family is complete and you have no use of the yours frozen embryos for you personally then one can decide to donate it to the another couple who are facing infertility problem due to inability to conceive with their own embryos and for further clarification one can discuss them with their specialist.


Cost For FET

While IVF treatment is under process, the excess embryos are taken and frozen in cryostorage which can be used according to your requirement either for personal use to conceive ,donation purpose or to discard them.

The basic service for FET is provided at the initial cost of $450 that includes freezing fee and the six-month storage charges which further invites the fee of approx $250 for the next six-month storage as charges and these may differ from hospital to hospital.

      We have tried so many fertility treatments but all were failed at the time of fertilization and we are unable to understand that what is happening. We lose us all hope and health condition of my wife is going down day by day. Then my brother told me about FCN and its success rate. We visited there but many things were going in our mind. The time we enter FCN we found the warmth in the environment and positive energy around us. We met the fertility expert and she diagnoses my wife and come to conclusion that the reason for failed fertilization is the cause of infertility with which my wife is dealing but they told us that not to lose our hope because they have various treatments to treat infertility if one treatment will not work they will go for another one to fulfill our dream.

      Surrogacy We greatly thanks to all the fertility experts and other staff members at FCN who made pregnancy possible for us when all other clinics refused to treat the infertility factor for us. You guys offered the best treatment which is Gestational surrogacy where the fertility experts of FCN used my own eggs and my husband sperm for fertilization and implant the same into the uterus of the Gestational surrogate mother and also we thank gestational surrogate mother who carries the pregnancy in her womb for 9 months for us and delivers our baby without any hassles. In this way, we get our own biological child and also the charges at FCN are very reasonable for the infertility treatment as compared with other fertility clinics and also the team members at FCN are very supportive and coo… Read more

      When I and my husband start planning for a baby and we met our gynecologist then she told me that I am not able to carry a baby in my womb due to medical illness and if I to conceive than it could affect the health of the baby as well.

      When we think to start our family and met our gynecologist, she told us that due to some problems in my womb I can’t carry pregnancy then we both lose our hope of becoming parents. By the time we are leaving from our doctor’s clinic one of the couples sitting there told us about FCN and also they told us that they have achieved the successful pregnancy there. Then we both decided to travel to Nepal and visit once the FCN center with a thought that maybe we can also achieve a successful pregnancy. The time we enter the FCN center we felt the warmth in the atmosphere and we are surrounded by positive energy.  When we met the fertility expert and discuss our case with them, they told us not to lose our hope because for us they have the best fertility treatment which is Surrogacy. This is… Read more
