Fresh vs Frozen Embryo Transfer: Which One is Better?

Fresh vs frozen embryo transfer: which one is better? In this video, Mark P. Trolice, M.D., a board certified reproductive endocrinology and infertility specialist and founder of Fertility CARE: The IVF Center shares his insights.
“Many patients have been asking me lately if frozen embryo transfer is better than fresh embryo transfer,” says Dr. Trolice. “All this started to come about from observations in medical literature over the last few years of frozen embryo transfers were giving higher pregnancy rates. But after that data was stratified and analyzed further, it seems that there is a select patient population that will benefit from frozen embryo transfer.”
Who are they? It’s a group of women known as hyper-responders. They include fertility patients who are on medication that produces a great number of follicles that, in turn, makes a lot of eggs.
“All those follicles make a lot of estrogen and high levels of estrogen seem to have a negative impact on embryo implantation at the lining of the uterus or endometrium,” says Dr. Trolice. “It’s not that those women won’t conceive, but it seems that the pregnancy rates seem to be lower for hyper-repsonders. So for hyper-responders we recommend doing a freeze-all cycle, for two reasons. One, to improve the implantation rate but also to reduce the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation.”
Dr. Mark P. Trolice is the Director of Fertility Care: The IVF Center in Winter Park, Fla., the most comprehensive fertility center in the Southeast. A leader in the field of reproductive endocrinology, Dr. Trolice has helped countless patients become parents in central Florida since 1999.
In addition to his work at Fertility Care: The IVF Center, Dr. Trolice is also the Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology (OB/GYN) at the University of Florida in Gainesville and the University of Central Florida in Orlando.
Dr. Trolice is double Board-certified in REI and OB/GYN while maintaining annual recertification in these specialties and has been awarded the American Medical Association's "Physicians' Recognition Award" annually.
In May 2005, Dr. Trolice was inducted into the prestigious American College of Endocrinology adding to his unique distinction of also being a fellow in the American College of OB/GYN and the American College of Surgeons.
