Fresh Vs Frozen. Pros and cons please

I went with a frozen transfer because all the studies show that it yields better results, and I’m tired of going through this process so I wanted what was going to hopefully work the best. My FET was on January 21 and I found out on Monday that I’m pregnant

Congratulations 🎊🎉 that's amazing. Do you need to take more meds to prepare for the FET

Our first round was a fresh transfer and it was unsuccessful. Our second round was a frozen one, I was taking less meds than the first round and we now have a 9 month old.

I hear this alot. Congratulations on your lil one 🎉Did you need to take injections for the frozen round or just oral meds and suppositories?

Frozen for me and I’m 15w4d. I chose to do genetic testing and needed a break before transfer. Good luck!

I’ve had two frozen and one fresh. The fresh is the one that worked for me. In my opinion though that had more to do with the quality of my eggs (and therefore embryos) from that round and also the skill of my embryologist (I changed clinic).

Also, there are a lot more frozen transfers than fresh that take place and I sometimes wonder if that leads to the stats suggesting frozen has higher success 🤷🏻‍♀️ ultimately it’s your choice and I’d go for whatever you feel most comfortable with at the time. You have to make the decision pretty much at egg collection so you start your meds at the right time but it’s not essential before.

Wishing you lots of luck!

Frozen higher success rates. I'm 13 weeks pregnant with frozen, fresh was not successful x

The success rates are higher for FET as it gives your body a chance to recover from the meds and EC. Also FET babies are said to be of a normal weight, similar to those conceived without ART, whereas fresh transfers are usually a lower birth weight which can lead to issues later in life.

Success rates for my clinic are higher for fresh transfers

I did read another study which I can't seem to find. I think you'll have to Google it.
