Frozen embryo transfer

[crossing_our_fingers]

We did IVF in October and transferred two fresh embryos. It ended in miscarriage at 9 1/2 weeks. We have 9 frozen embryos. My question is-what is the procedure to transfer frozen embryos? Do I have to take medicine? How long does it take to thaw the embryos. Any information anyone can give me will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello I just did a Frozen transfer last week.  My center is Shady Grove Fertility Center. I was on baby aspirin, folic acid. Once I got AF( period) I started on the birth control pills for a month. My next AF, I went in on day 3 for bloodwork and sonogram. That came back good. I then started IM Del estrogen shots, every three days. I went back in for more blood work and sonogram, then started the progesterone in oil shots. I was then scheduled 4 days after starting the shots for my transfer. I had 3 embryo's to thaw. 2 were at 98% and 1 was 95%. They transfered all 3.
I had to have a full bladder during the proceedure. I was released 15 minutes later. I had to be on bed rest for 24 hrs. So I caught up on some sleep and tried to relax. I had to wait 2 weeks for a beta test. My test is Monday..hoping for BFP's. I had a healthy boy with a fresh cycle. My neighbor has 3 boys and one on the way all with frozen transfers.Good Luck...baby dust to you.

I agree with "Ruhiya" comment completely. I am just starting a frozen cycle & am on B/C pills & my schedule is pretty much the same as hers. So, that's what you can expect! This is my 2nd attempt at a frozen cycle. The first time it did not work. I was told you only have a 35-40% chance at frozen & 50-60% at fresh. I have a 3 yr old daughter from fresh. Good luck to you!

It depends on if your clinic is doing medicated oe unmedicated cycle. With mine I was on B/C pills,  Lupron shots, Estrace, Prometrium, baby aspirin and Progesterone shots. They thaw embryos the day of your transfer.(couple hours before). Now I am 11 weeks 3 days pregnant. Hope everything goes well.

Good luck
