What the procedure involves.
Transfer of previously cryopreserved embryos into the uterus, increasingly preferred over fresh transfers due to higher pregnancy rates. China's top fertility centers use vitrification technology with 95%+ embryo survival rates.
Step by step.
Endometrial Preparation
Natural or medicated cycle to prepare the uterine lining. Monitoring with ultrasound to ensure optimal endometrial thickness.
Embryo Thawing
Vitrified embryos are rapidly thawed on the morning of transfer. Survival rate assessed and confirmed.
Embryo Transfer
Ultrasound-guided transfer of 1-2 thawed embryos into the uterus using a thin catheter. Painless, no anesthesia needed.
Luteal Support & Pregnancy Test
Progesterone supplementation for 2 weeks. Blood pregnancy test (beta-hCG) at 10-14 days post-transfer.
- Higher pregnancy rates than fresh transfers in many studies
- 65-75% cost savings compared to US FET cycles
- Less invasive than a full IVF cycle — no egg retrieval needed
- Allows optimal timing of transfer when uterus is most receptive
- Small percentage of embryos may not survive the thaw process
- Cycle may be cancelled if endometrial lining is inadequate
- Progesterone supplementation may cause bloating and fatigue
- Success depends heavily on embryo quality at the time of freezing
