Frozen Embryo Transfer

What is a frozen embryo transfer?

In an in vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatment cycle, any additional suitable embryos not transferred during your cycle can be frozen or ‘vitrified’, using an ultra-rapid freezing technique, for thaw and transfer in subsequent treatments.   

In some situations, all of your suitable embryos may be vitrified with none being transferred. The vitrification of embryos at Nairobi IVF has proven to have no significant effect on the ability of an embryo to implant and result in a pregnancy once thawed. The ability of the embryo to implant in a non-stimulated endometrium is thought to be improved.
