What to expect after your frozen embryo transfer (FET)

Frozen embryo transfer is a simple procedure, but taking proper care of yourselves helps in increasing the chances of success in your FET.

An embryo transfer is the final step in the IVF cycle, which is done to help women conceive when they are unable to do so. This is probably the most crucial step in the whole IVF treatment, as one or more healthy embryos are transferred into the woman’s uterus to help attain pregnancy. These transferred embryos should ‘stick’ to the uterine layer, get nourishment from the uterus and continue its growth there. Only then will it result in a successful pregnancy. Typically, it take 10 to 14 days from the date of embryo transfer to perform a blood test to ascertain pregnancy.

This waiting period is a very emotional time for the woman. She needs to slow down if her life is hectic, relax a bit and focus on positive things. This anxiety, excitement, hope over the possibility of becoming a parent is natural and completely normal to feel. And you can be rest assured that frozen embryos are more effective and offer high success rates compared to fresh embryo transfer according to multiple studies.

While you may be tempted to take a pregnancy test soon after or a couple of days later after the frozen embryo transfer, you are advised to wait at least 2 weeks’ time before taking the test. The reason for this is, to ensure you get accurate results and help you manage the emotions that normally occur during this process.

There are few symptoms which may occur in those 2 weeks’ time, like,

• Feeling of bloating

• Mood swings

• Cramps

• Joint pain or muscle aches

• Sore breasts

• Light spotting

• Feeling tired

But relax and don’t worry. These signs are similar to premenstrual symptoms but it could also be early symptoms of pregnancy. Having said that, if any of these symptoms occur frequently, then it is important to contact your doctor for further instructions. However, it is important to note that, stress and worry makes it more difficult. A good doctor can certainly make the journey more easier and ensure better outcomes. So choose wisely when you are finalizing a IVF centre for your treatment. Pick a centre and a doctor where you are comfortable and you are confident about the outcome.
