Cryocycle: Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET)
The Embryo Freezing Process
Vitrification is a modern method of embryo freezing that stops all biological processes in the cells by freezing them at extremely low temperatures. This method ensures a high level of cell viability by preventing ice crystal formation, which was a common issue in earlier freezing methods.
When is vitrification done?
Embryos are typically frozen at the blastocyst stage (5-7 days of development).
How does it work? When conditions are favorable for implantation, the embryo is thawed and transferred into the uterus.

When is Cryocycle Recommended?
Risk of ovarian hyperstimulation
After unsuccessful IVF attempts
Family planning for future children
Cryopreservation before medical treatments
Genetic screening with NGS
Preserving fertility before undergoing treatments like chemotherapy or addressing autoimmune conditions.
Couples planning additional children after a successful IVF cycle.
For cases requiring preimplantation genetic testing before transfer.
Offering another chance with preserved embryos.
To prevent overstimulation during a fresh cycle.
Treatment Stages
Your doctor may request specific tests to optimize your preparation for pregnancy. If you already have recent test results, this step can be minimized or skipped, reducing the overall cost.
Based on an ultrasound evaluation, the doctor will recommend the most suitable protocol for preparing the endometrium, which may include hormonal support or a natural cycle approach. The goal is to ensure ideal conditions for implantation.
The frozen embryo is thawed and carefully transferred into the uterine cavity on a specific day. The procedure is painless, non-invasive, and only takes a few minutes.
After the transfer, patients continue prescribed medications for 12-14 days until the pregnancy test (HCG) is conducted to confirm success.
If the test is positive, the doctor will confirm the pregnancy with an ultrasound. The patient will then register for pregnancy observation and care throughout the gestation period.
