India, June 28 -- With advances in fertility treatment and freezing techniques, Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) has become an important part of the IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation) cycle. In FET, embryos created during an IVF cycle are frozen and stored for future use. Pregnancy rates with FET are almost equal to those of fresh embryo transfer. The FET procedure is simple and painless. Medicines are given to prepare the uterine lining, and the embryo is placed into the uterus using a thin catheter. This procedure is especially useful for women who need to delay pregnancy, are at risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome or wish to undergo genetic testing of embryos. Many couples also return for FET using their extra embryos to have a second child after a successful first IVF pregnancy. So, if your doctor has suggested FET as part of your IVF cycle, there is no need to be afraid. This procedure is safe and has helped thousands of couples worldwide achieve their dream of parenthood.
