Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) is a critical step in many surrogacy journeys.
At Surrogacy4All, we help Intended Parents navigate this important medical milestone with clarity and support.
Here’s everything you need to know about FET and how it fits into your surrogacy plan.
What Is Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET)?
FET involves thawing a previously frozen embryo and transferring it into a surrogate’s uterus.
It’s a common, safe, and effective fertility treatment used in many surrogacy journeys.
How the FET Process Works
- Embryo Creation: Embryos are created through IVF using the Intended Parent’s (or donor’s) eggs and sperm.
- Freezing: High-quality embryos are frozen and safely stored.
- Medical Screening: The surrogate undergoes thorough screening and prepares her uterus with medications.
- Thaw and Transfer: The embryo is thawed and transferred into the surrogate’s uterus under ultrasound guidance.
- Pregnancy Test: A blood test confirms pregnancy 10–14 days later.
Success Rates of FET
- Average Success Rate per Transfer: 55%–65% depending on embryo quality and surrogate health
- Higher success: when transferring genetically tested (PGT-A) embryos
