Frozen Embryo Transfer

Cryopreserved embryos may be transferred in a frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycle. The patient should contact an IVF nurse to activate their name on the frozen embryo treatment waitlist and make a follow up appointment with their clinic physician for review. For patients requesting FET following pregnancy, a minimum of 2 normal menstrual cycles after completion of breastfeeding is recommended. For patients requesting FET following unsuccessful fresh embryo transfer, a minimum of 2 normal cycles following bleed after the unsuccessful cycle is required. Patients may be required to repeat HSG and/or pelvic ultrasound prior to transfer (if these are out of date).
