A fresh In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) procedure is expensive and very hard on a woman’s body. Luckily, today’s Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) provides a method for preserving quality embryos through cryopreservation. Using these frozen embryos in subsequent Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) procedures are much less expensive than undergoing a second or third fresh IVF cycle. There is really no downside to freezing embryos.

The FET procedure is almost always utilized in conjunction with fresh IVF cycles by many couples wanting to increase their chances of having a baby. The pregnancy success rates for FETs are comparable to those of fresh IVF cycles because only quality embryos are cryopreserved for future FETs. Quality embryos are key to increasing the chances of a successful pregnancy and life birth.Dr. Randy S. Morris – founder and medical director of IVF1 – is very strict about the quality of embryos he chooses to be frozen for subsequent FETs.
