About This Treatment

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.

Procedure Steps
1

Endometrial Preparation

Natural or medicated cycle to prepare the uterine lining. Monitoring with ultrasound to ensure optimal endometrial thickness.

Duration: 2-3 weeks
2

Embryo Thawing

Vitrified embryos are rapidly thawed on the morning of transfer. Survival rate assessed and confirmed.

Duration: 2 hours
3

Embryo Transfer

Ultrasound-guided transfer of 1-2 thawed embryos into the uterus using a thin catheter. Painless, no anesthesia needed.

Duration: 10-15 minutes
4

Luteal Support & Pregnancy Test

Progesterone supplementation for 2 weeks. Blood pregnancy test (beta-hCG) at 10-14 days post-transfer.

Duration: 2 weeks
Benefits
  • 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
Considerations
  • 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
