FROZEN EMBRYO TRANSFER
A FROZEN EMBRYO TRANSFER COMES UNDER IVF TREATMENT. IVF IS ALL ABOUT HARVESTING THE MOTHER EGG THROUGH SURGICAL PROCEDURES. THESE EGGS ARE FURTHER FERTILIZED THROUGH THE FATHER’S SPERM IN A LABORATORY. HOWEVER, THE INSERTION OF ONE EMBRYO IS DONE AT A TIME FOR AVOIDING MULTIPLE PREGNANCIES. THE REMAINING EMBRYOS ARE KEPT IN LIQUID NITROGEN BELOW THE FREEZING POINT. THESE EMBRYOS CAN BE USED LATER ON, IN CASE THE INSERTED ONE IS FAILED. THE SUCCESS RATE OF THE FROZEN EMBRYO IS SAME THAT OF FRESH EMBRYOS.
