When couples turn to IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) for help in becoming parents, one of the most important questions is: Should we choose a fresh embryo transfer or a Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET)?
Over the last decade, Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) has become the preferred choice for many couples. With higher success rates, safer outcomes, and greater flexibility, FET is no longer just an option—it’s now considered a smarter, more reliable approach to achieving pregnancy.
At Neev Women Hospital Ahmedabad, under the care of Dr. Neha Goyal, we have witnessed hundreds of couples fulfill their dream of parenthood through Frozen Embryo Transfer. With 14+ years of expertise and 5000+ successful fertility procedures, we combine advanced IVF technology with compassionate care, making us one of the leading IVF centers in Gujarat.
In this blog, we’ll explain what Frozen Embryo Transfer is, why it is more successful than fresh transfer, and how it can improve your IVF journey.
Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) is a procedure in which embryos created during an IVF cycle are frozen (cryopreserved) and later thawed for transfer into the uterus. Instead of immediately transferring embryos after egg retrieval (as in fresh transfer), doctors wait until the woman’s body is hormonally balanced and her uterus is at the most receptive stage.
This delay gives the uterus time to prepare naturally, which increases the chances of successful implantation and pregnancy.
Think of it as planting seeds in soil only when it’s ready—FET ensures that embryos are transferred when the uterine environment is at its healthiest.
Here are the 7 key reasons why more couples—and doctors—now prefer FET over fresh embryo transfer
1️⃣ Higher IVF Success Rates
Multiple studies confirm that Frozen Embryo Transfers have higher pregnancy success rates than fresh transfers. When embryos are frozen and transferred later, the uterus is more receptive, giving embryos a better chance to implant. At Neev Women Hospital Ahmedabad, our FET success rates are among the best in Gujarat.
2️⃣ Healthier Pregnancy Outcomes
Research shows that FET is linked to a lower risk of:
By allowing hormone levels to stabilize after stimulation, FET supports healthier pregnancies and healthier babies.
3️⃣ Safer for Women with PCOS or High Risk of OHSS
Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) are at greater risk of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) during IVF. Freezing all embryos and transferring them later significantly reduces this risk. At Neev Women Hospital, we follow safe stimulation protocols and recommend FET for women prone to OHSS.
4️⃣ Flexibility in Timing
Life doesn’t always go according to plan. Some couples may not be emotionally, physically, or financially ready to start pregnancy immediately. With FET, embryos can be frozen for years and used when the couple feels ready. This flexibility gives couples peace of mind and control over their fertility journey.
5️⃣ Time for Genetic Testing (PGT)
Freezing embryos allows doctors time to conduct Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT). This ensures only chromosomally healthy embryos are selected, reducing risks of miscarriage and genetic disorders. Many couples at Neev Women Hospital Ahmedabad have successfully conceived after FET combined with PGT.
6️⃣ Multiple Attempts from a Single IVF Cycle
With fresh transfer, couples rely on one chance per cycle. With FET, multiple embryos can be stored, allowing for future attempts without restarting the entire IVF process. This reduces both costs and emotional stress.
7️⃣ Better Uterine Environment
Fresh transfer happens soon after ovarian stimulation, when hormone levels are high. These elevated hormones can sometimes interfere with implantation. FET allows time for hormone levels to normalize, creating the ideal uterine lining for embryo implantation.
At Neev Women Hospital Ahmedabad, we follow a safe, advanced, and patient-friendly process for FET:

1. Is Frozen Embryo Transfer more successful than fresh transfer?
Yes. Studies and our own experience at Neev Women Hospital Ahmedabad show that Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) often has higher success rates compared to fresh transfer. This is because the uterus has more time to recover from fertility medications, creating the perfect environment for embryo implantation.
2. How long can embryos stay frozen?
With modern freezing technology called vitrification, embryos can remain frozen for 10–15 years or more without losing quality. At Neev Women Hospital, we provide safe, long-term storage facilities so couples can plan pregnancy at the right time
3. Is Frozen Embryo Transfer painful?
No. FET is a simple, minimally invasive procedure that feels similar to a pap smear. Most women only experience mild cramping and can resume daily activities the same day
4. What is the success rate of FET in Ahmedabad?
At Neev Women Hospital Ahmedabad, the success rate of FET is 40–60% per cycle, depending on the woman’s age, egg quality, and uterine health. By using advanced tools like AI embryo selection and genetic testing (PGT), we help couples achieve higher-than-average success rates.
5. Does Frozen Embryo Transfer increase the risk of twins?
The chance of twins depends on how many embryos are transferred. At Neev Women Hospital, we usually transfer one or two embryos to keep both mother and baby safe.
Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) is quickly becoming the gold standard in IVF treatments. With higher success rates, safer outcomes, and flexibility for families, FET offers couples the best chance of building the family they dream of.
