New approach to IVF

[hifer]

Hi,

We went to a new clinic open day today and I’m pretty sure we are going to go with them. They have a freeze all approach to embryos (in most cases) and put them back in a different cycle on the grounds that the body/ hormones etc get a chance to settle down in a different cycle and are more ready to receive the embryo. Think this is still fairly uncommon in the UK although apparently fairly common in the US. Anyone else have this with their clinic and achieve success? Thanks

Hi hifer , my clinic didn't have that approach but I was forced to do a freeze all cycle because of OHSS. I feel that it was much easier on the body and I think FETs have higher success rates. My little piece of advice is to enjoy the "empty" cycle before the embies are put in. For me I went on a holiday abroad which really helped me de-stress before the transfer. Wishing you the best of luck x

Thanks so much for the response. I think a holiday is an excellent idea xx

Hi hifer, I didn't have this on my first ICSI cycle when I had a BFN. However was lucky enough to have 1 to freeze and got my BFP this week with FET. I found the FET process less stressful, good luck xx
