During in vitro fertilization (IVF) we often get more than enough good embryos to put back. These we can freeze and put back at a later time in a later cycle. The benefit of FER is that a woman avoids going through the whole treatment of stimulation and egg extraction again. The thawed embryo is inserted during a natural or lightly stimulated cycle in a simple, painless procedure that is over in a matter of minutes.
The frozen embryos have to be used before the woman is 46 years old. Previously the frozen embryos could only be stored for a maximum of five years, but with the changes in the Biotechnology law from the July 1. 2020, this deadline no longer exists. The embryos can only be assigned to the woman they came from.
Do you want to start a FER treatment? Or, call us to arrange the thawing of your frozen embryo. You will find the form for thawing confirmation here.
