Frozen vs Fresh Embryo Transfer Which Has Better Success?
5 months ago
My sister is undergoing IVF, and her doctor suggested a frozen embryo transfer. She is worried about the difference between fresh and frozen transfers and whether frozen embryos have lower success rates. What do doctors usually advise, and what factors affect the success of frozen embryo transfer?

Frozen embryo transfers (FET) are widely used and often have comparable or slightly higher success rates than fresh transfers in certain situations. Freezing embryos allows the woman’s body to recover from ovarian stimulation, creating a more receptive uterine lining. Success depends on embryo quality, endometrial preparation, timing of transfer, and the woman’s age. Doctors usually personalize the approach, ensuring optimal hormone support and monitoring the uterus carefully. Patients are advised that frozen transfers are generally safe, with fewer side effects from ovarian stimulation compared to fresh cycles.
