Create a family with FET

For those who have previously undertaken a cycle of IVF or IVF + ICSI. Speak with an advisor and we’ll figure out if it’s right for you.

What is a Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET)?

For those who have previously undertaken a cycle of IVF or IVF + ICSI, your remaining embryos may have been frozen for later transfer. FET (Frozen Embryo Transfer) is the process of thawing and using these embryos in a new treatment cycle, without going through all the steps of IVF or IVF + ICSI.

1
Ultrasound scans
Ultrasound scans will be carried out at your preferred location, to check that the uterine lining is ready for embryo transfer. When this happens, your embryo transfer procedure can be arranged.
2
Embryos thawing and selection
The frozen embryos are thawed and assessed for their suitability.
3
Embryo transfer
Once an embryo is selected, it is gently inserted into the uterus using a catheter, guided by ultrasound.
4
Ultrasound check
After the catheter is removed the ultrasound checks to see if the embryo has been transferred successfully.
5
You take a pregnancy test
Finally, a pregnancy test will be taken, usually around two weeks later. Our advisors will be there to discuss next steps following the pregnancy test.

More about FET

As the embryos will have already been created during IVF and frozen, FET means that initial ovarian stimulation is not needed. There are two ways that embryos may be replaced, depending on your age and fertility history. In every case, Apricity’s expert consultants will decide which treatment is right for you, whether embryo transfer during a natural cycle, or in a cycle with hormone supplements.

What are the success rates for FET?

Due to advances in freezing techniques, success rates when using frozen embryos are just as high as when fresh embryos are used. Embryos can be stored for up to ten years, and successful FET treatments are not dependent on the length of time they have been frozen.

What’s not included


The HFEA considers that there isn't enough evidence to support the efficacy of some "add-on" treatments such as time-lapse imaging or PGS, which is why we do not include them in our standard pricing packages. We also do not include non-routine tests such as Natural Killer Cells or DNA fragmentation, although if required we would be happy to arrange them for you at additional cost.

Cancellations and refunds

If cycle is abandoned after day 10 scan and before Embryo Transfer refund due = £1500.


If cycle is abandoned after starting progesterone support medication refund due = £500.


CONSULTATIONS: If cancelled or rescheduled with more than 48 hours notice before your scheduled appointment, you will not be charged. If cancelled or rescheduled with less than 48 hours notice, you will be charged in full for the consultation.
