The frozen embryo transfer is a treatment we perform at our fertility clinic in Spain in cases where\u00a0we were able to freeze embryos\u00a0<\/strong>that were previously created in a cycle of in vitro fertilisation treatment, regardless of whether the embryos were made using own eggs or donor eggs (egg donation).<\/p>\n

When IVF or egg donation treatment is indicated we must try to\u00a0carry out treatment as efficiently as possible. This means that we will stimulate the ovaries<\/strong>\u00a0to obtain enough eggs so that the patient has a good chance of conceiving, as not all eggs will be mature, not all will fertilise and not all embryos will have optimal quality for transfer.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The goal throughout this process is to\u00a0have one or two good quality embryos<\/strong>\u00a0for transfer. However, the procedure is sometimes very effective and we obtain extra good quality embryos in addition to the ones to be transferred. In these cases we will cryopreserve the additional embryos through\u00a0ultra-rapid freezing, or vitrification<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Embryo cryopreservation\u00a0<\/strong>is a fundamental tool\u00a0that not only benefits couples who weren\u2019t able to conceive following their fresh treatment, but also for couples who\u00a0wish to return for a second child in the future<\/strong>.\u00a0Embryo cryopreservation is also utilised in cases where, for medical reasons, a fresh embryo transfer is not advisable, like for example in patients at risk for<\/strong>\u00a0ovarian hyper-stimulation, inadequate endometrial preparation, etc. In these cases we can postpone the embryo transfer and the embryos will remain frozen in our embryo bank until the medical reason which prevented the embryo transfer from taking place no longer exists.<\/p>\n

In order to help you understand this procedure we have prepared this article, throughout which we want to\u00a0answer all the questions\u00a0<\/strong>that future mums tend to ask us when they are going to start this process with us.<\/p>\n
