Frozen-Thawed Embryo Transfer Survey

Cryopreservation of supernumerary embryos following IVF has been widely practiced as a safe and cost-effective method to increase cumulative pregnancy rates per oocyte retrieval.

The current trend towards decreasing the number of embryos being transferred and the increased implementation of single embryo transfer (SET) policy in many IVF programs emphasize the relevance and importance of frozen embryo transfer (FET).

The following survey relates to current practice, opinions and therapeutic approaches to patient preparation for FET.The survey was suggested and composed by Dr.A.Weissman The personal data requested aims only to assure the safety and authenticity of the data submitted. No personal data will be published.
