- Frozen embryo transfer success has peaked in recent years. Does it now make sense to skip a fresh transfer completely?
Hello this is Dr. Randy Morris. I am a Board Certified Fertility Expert and the Medical Director at the world renowned IVF1 fertility center in Naperville, Illinois. I'm here with the second of a few special editions of Infertility TV.
Recently the international infertility conference known as ESHRE wrapped up in Helsinki Finland. ESHRE is the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology. Meetings such as this one allow physicians and scientists to present their latest research to their peers.
These meetings can serve as an early indicator of which directions fertility treatment may go in the future, what new technologies may become valid treatments and which ones were not able to withstand the rigors of scientific scrutiny.
In today’s special ESHRE Episode, we are going to talk about freezing embryos
We have covered this topic on Infertility TV before. Click the link above to view our previous episode.
The basic question is this - If you are doing IVF - Is it better to put the embryos into the uterus right away? Which is known as a “fresh” transfer OR is it better to freeze all the embryos and put them into the uterus at a later time? - which is known as a deferred or frozen transfer
In the past, the answer was to do a fresh transfer since pregnancy rates on frozen transfers were usually a bit lower. However, over the years freezing technology has been improved.
At ESHRE this summer Dr Karen Hunter Cohn presented a study in which she examined more than 16,000 IVF treatments performed at 12 fertility centers.
After matching for different variables, their analysis showed that in certain groups - freezing all of the embryos and having a deferred transfer produced more pregnancies than a fresh transfer.
Among the groups that showed improvement were
Women over 35 years old -- 46% of these couples became pregnant using deferred transfer compared to 33% who became pregnant with a fresh transfer.
There was also a benefit found in patients with elevated levels of the hormone progesterone - prior to egg retrieval - and this was evident whether they were younger or older.
Because of this and other studies, fertility experts are now debating whether other patients may benefit from the “freeze all approach”.

I think it depends upon the circumstances at that time. But the frozen embryo is a more prior option than others. Both the methods are helping many infertile couples to bring their happiness back. IVF has an immense contribution behind the success of many infertile couples.
Well, I have known that frozen embryos are better. But as you have mentioned. Both have their pros and cons. I had frozen embryos. It helped me in avoiding many problems. That totally depends on you which one you prefer. This video was great.
Hey there. How was your experience? I do not know of anyone who has done this. I think it is an ideal option. SPecifically for women who are postponing having children. It is a safe option. It can help them conceive later.
Nowadays frozen embryos are preferred over the fresh one. It is because they are much more potent than the fresh one. Fresh embryo leads to excessive production of ovaries and causes many problems in conceiving. Your video has compared both in very good manner.
I think the frozen embryo is definitely better. Thank you for this video. This video was really informative. I had a lot of success with the frozen embryo. It's crazy to see how much science has progressed. So many options! It's amazing.
As long as they are getting the job done there is really no debate on which is better and which is worse. If it works it is fine. Infertility is very hard and such procedures are very helpful in face of it.
Hey there, How are you ?. What an amazing video. Frozen embryos are a fantastic discovery. It's great to see this development. It's helping us greatly. Cannot possibly thank science enough! So many options. They've spolit us.
IVF is a very common process. Many people go through this process. They get their kids with this process. It is a very long journey. But it's worth it. Thanks for sharing this video. Keep sharing such stuff.
yes you are right. all the processes the pains and medications are tough but worth the end result. when i got to hold my baby for the first time in my arms believe me i forgot all the pains i had to get him. amazing experience i would say.
It is really an informative piece to watch. People are often confused about what to do and how to do? The choice of embryos stops them from taking the right decision. It is but not a matter of confusion. Both of them are scientific procedures. Chances of success and failure both exist. Things should be accepted realistically.
Hello there. You explained it all wonderfully. Frozen embryos do work amazingly. My sister had a similar kind of experience and she is now one happy mom. I love how evolved the medical sciences have become and now being childless is no more an option. Good work there.
I am so happy to see such kind of treatments of infertility. In this modern era, we have a solution to every problem. In the past, people have to face lots of problems to fight against such diseases. My two anties are still passing their life without children because they are unknown with such treatment. Thank you, doctors, for informing us with these treatments.
a friend of mine is going through ivf. she just want to decide either go for fresh or frozen. she asked me but i myself was not know about it. but your video has really helped me building a opinion. you video is really a very informative. now i can easily decide to go for which. you people are really a amazing. making this kind of video is really a great help for people. thanks.

Of course, what you are saying is better. You have shown the facts. You talked about them. It would be great. It's really very well. Please, take good care of yourself. Everything will be alright. There is no need to take tension people.
Thank you for answering this most essential question. This is a cause of confusion for many couples. IVF is all about making the right decision. I personally think it really depends on your body and the condition. According to which you should decide about the transfer. I will soon be starting my process as well. It is very lengthy and I am really nervous. I hope everything goes fine.
This was genius! I did not know there would be this much of a difference. This is basic information. But people aren't aware of it. I'm glad you guys are doing this. It's a brilliant initiative. Thank you so much.
Inventions are the basic need of time. Medical science doing a great job in this regard. IVF is the great invention of medical science. I really don't know that these two treatments are different from each another. Your video is very profitable for us. Keep sharing these type of video with us.
I have researched a lot about IVF. But I did not really understand the frozen embryo transfer and fresh embryo transfer. This is very detailed and informative. I have learned so much from it. You guys are doing an amazing job at this. Thank you. I hope to learn more.
What an amazing video. Frozen embryos are a fantastic discovery. It's great to see this development. It's helping us greatly. Cannot possibly thank science enough! So many options. They've spolit us.
"Such an informative video you shared dear. I am very impressed with you. recently I have subscribed to your channel. and I have seen all of your interesting videos still now lol. But your videos are very informative for all the infertile ladies. it will surely be helping all the dear ones who have to face this issue. good job dear.
"
A doctor can explain more clearly. Thank you for sharing the video. This kind of videos is much helpful. Frozen embryos are much better than fresh ones. It is a safer process for the woman that produces more eggs. I am glad you chose the right topic. IVF is a successful process. It is giving happiness to many infertile couples.
Hey, doctor hopes you are going well. Hmm, you are performing a great job dear. yes, I think that frozen embryos should be the best way after the IVF’s cycle. I am very happy to know that you guys are working hard to create awareness in us. Well-done. I hope that you will get something better in your life.
Thanks a lot for sharing this video. This has helped raise awareness on the topic of frozen embryos. This is the topic that s rarely talked about. I am glad that there are many people who are taking a stand on sharing information regarding topics that were initially never discussed openly. I am also super excited now to make a chief for myself. This is extremely helpful for the couples who are still confused about their stake in these treatments. But thanks to the technology that has made our lives easier. And thus many couples are now able to conceive and experience parenthood.
FET is the great advancement in medical science. IVF is a safe and effective treatment for infertility. IVF has very low risks to the patient. The risks include ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, multiple gestations, ovarian torsion, ectopic pregnancy, and risks of the egg harvest procedure. Anyways, I wish It will be safe in the future.
Indeed frozen embryo transfer is getting common and best treatment to deal with infertility .but there is a lot of confusion between fresh transfer and freeze embryo. I was confused between these two. I was thinking that both are same. well explained Dr.Randy Morris.after watching this video all my doubts have cleared.thank you for making us aware about it. I helped me to clear my confusion.
Hey Doctor, you spoke very well. It is believed that because frozen embryos would be used long after the egg stimulation hormone therapy is done, the woman’s body would have returned to a natural state hormonally speaking.
Dr andy thanks for your time. It will be really helpful for many infertile couples. It's really difficult to differentiate between these two. You have beautifully explained the difference. It will help many infertile couples. This is best. You are working hard for others. Wish you best of luck for that
Thank you doctor Randy! It was such an informative and amazing video. Freezing embryos treatment is honestly one of the miracles of Science and Technology. I was declared with infertility 6 years ago and opted for IVF. Although I chose fresh transfer, I think both of them are amazing. It is good to see so many people who are infertile going for this.
Hello doctor! I hope you are doing fine. I really appreciate you for giving such an important information. The couple who are looking forward to IVF must have known about these things. IVF is a great process which really helps to infertile. My sister also had two children through IVF procedure. Lots of love. Stay blessed.
Hi there. I am going for IVF procedure but I have heard it involves pain and I am naturally concerned but you explained the benefits so beautifully, you have convinced me to try it because its worth the pain. I cant wait to have my own baby and I think I should get started on this.
Amazing video. I like the information you shared here. I did not know about this. I always thought infertility is the end of life. But Dr told us that it can be cured at early stages. We all must be aware of this. God bless you. You are doing amazing by awarding people.
Hello! Hope you are doing well! You explained it really well! Your are right that its success is really high! My friend had gone through this process! She is quite satisfied! She did a lot of research before taking any step! Because if its not done properly. It will have many side effects!
I am really happy that you shared this video. It contains a lot of information. My relative was asking about this. She was confused to choose between the frozen embryo and a fresh one. So this video will help her. Good wishes to all.
Hello, Dr randy! Thak you for your time and concern for infertile couples. I never knew the difference between these two. I thought FET is the same in both cases. I hope this will help many people after watching this video.
yes, ofcourse. your video is full of information and facts. although frozen embryos are considered better than the fresh ones. but i think it depends upon individuals because every one has a different system. in my case it was the fresh embryos.
Hello doctor. You are great. You have done a great job. This video is really informative video. Yes, this is mostly asked a question. Good news is that you answered it after doing research. This will clear confusion about the transfer of the embryo both frozen or fresh. This is a good piece of information for infertile couples. Thanks for sharing it.
if we look way back we would have never thought that science would make such advancement but it is great also because it is helping people in so many ways and seeing that people are actually gaining benefit from such technologies is awesome. never knew about the frozen embryo technology I will share this with my friend too she is deciding to take the treatment. Thank you.
I know right. I agree with you. 20 years ago, no-one would have thought this would be possible. But i am so happy to see this happening. As so many people around me are infertile. And through this they can actually hope.
Hello, doctor, I am your big fan. I always watch your video with attention. Very informative video. Thank you so much for making a video to explain the difference between the fresh embryo and frozen embryo know that people are unaware of these concepts. I also went for frozen embryo technique. It was really a good experience. I am so happy to become a mother. Wishing all of you good luck.
Hey, there! Thanks for sharing this video with us. It's really informative. You are such an experienced doctor. People trust your words because you know a lot about infertility and its treatments. I love to watch such videos because they are full of information. These videos prove to be very useful to a lot of people. Keep up the work good.
Hi DR Randy, Hope you are doing good. This is a very informative video. You clear all the doubts which were stuck in my head. I am satisfied now. Technology helping many couples to have babies. My friend watches this video and now she is thinking to go for treatment. It is really helpful for us. Thank you for sharing this with us. you are doing a great job.
Hmm! I can understand it clearly dear. you don’t know that how much great work you have done. It's very important for all of us. As the issue of infertility is not the issue of only one lady. it has become the issue of almost every couple. So, well-done. I also admit that IVF can really bring happiness for all of the infertile couples.
This video is very informative. People should be well aware of every advancement. It would be really helpful for the people. I loved watching this. Doctors are doing a great job. This shows their concern towards people. Keep working with same zeal and zest.Thank you so much for sharing this.
I really enjoyed the video. The video has covered many aspects. Frozen embryos give more benefit. It is much successful. Andi t costs less. It has much more benefits for the ladies whose eggs are produced in a larger number. Nowadays almost every woman gets her eggs frozen.
Hey Doc. Thanks for the video. Love your attitude. But I believe the frozen embryo is better. It has a higher success rate. People need to opt for it more often. Thanks again for this information. Take care.
Thank you, Dr. Randy, for this beautiful video. It is really helpful to me. Your videos are always amazing for us. Indeed frozen embryo transfer is better as compared to fresh. We should go for frozen embryo transfer. My good wishes and prayers are with everyone who is fighting to get blessings for the child.
hello everyone! your video is awesome. It's full of knowledge. But I think that everyone adopts its own way for this. and I also have a different mind for it. but your way is also very charming. It’s interesting that I think that its make no sense to skip it. because several people need this as they are fighting for their fertility.
hey dear! I am really impressed with his video. he is a very helpful person who is helping us with this issue. I am totally unaware of it. thanks, dear for informed me. actually, I want to join IVF right now. but I am nothing much aware of all of the necessary information that a lady has to know. So, thank for accomplishing such a great task.
What an amazing video. I have always wondered about this. I never got a proper answer to this question. But this video cleared my confusion. Thanks for this doctor for taking out time to make this video for us. Great job.
It's so amazing. you shared a very good information. obviously, you can use the frozen eggs for more than one patients. but i am really very shocked to know this new thing in 'IVF. Its really taking very fast changes in its treatments. thanks, doctor for your work sharing with us. awaitting for your new videos.
Hello Dr. Randy. Hope you will be doing great. Thank you very much for sharing such informative stuff. I never knew this difference. In fact, I considered it the same thing. It was great to know the difference between both techniques. Keep us acquiring more and more knowledge.
Hey there. How are you doing? I hope it's all great. Thanks for the video. This is really informative. I am sure this will help a lot of people. Infertility is really common these days. We are fighting it now. I wish you all good luck and lots of love. Take care and be strong.
nice to see you in this video dear. I thought that the frozen embryo should be used. Dear, you are doing great to share this video. because infertility is a very painful disease. I know it better. Because I also have to face this pain. so, in this condition, a man wants to have a kind console statement from someone. And you are doing great to help them.
Hey there. The amazing video this is really nice. I know how hard the choice is. I wish everyone good luck. Please be strong. Again thanks for the video. Lots of love and take care. Prayers for all of you.
Well, it depends. I mean I have my own opinion. I was aging too fast. I had to get them frozen. It worked for me. I went for an IVF. Used my frozen embryos. Now I have a daughter.
Hello. great video. This question has always been on my mind. I used to think they both are equally good. Thanks for sharing this video. You cleared things out here really well. Looking forward to watching more videos from you.
Such an amazing video. Loved the way you explained the whole process in summary. It is very important to cover all important aspects while explaining a process. And you did it so well. This video will definitely help newly joined people to understand IVF.
wow! thanks for explaining it to nicely and in such a professional way. really liked it. there is a huge difference which I dint know and I just got it know after watching this video! thankyou for this amazing upload:)
very informative news. Worth sharing knowledge. It must be very informative to everyone. Good knowledge you have. It must be very helpful. Hats off to your spirit as well. Good luck!
Hi DR Randy, hope you are doing good. This is a very informative video. I never knew that there could be a difference between the two. I always thought that both implantation have same effect. It is great to know the difference. thankyou for making such informative videos, Keep sharing such videos with us.
thanks doctor i think the same as you suggest. but we must not forget that every one is different from another. while fresh embryos may work for one but not on other. s it depends upon the situation i guess.
Hey, hope you are doing well doctors. Thanks for uploading this wonderful video. It was so informative. I loved the way you explained things. I am s grateful to you.I am undergoing my IVF process. I will surely keep your stuff in mind. I hope my journey goes well.
hi, hope so you are fine. Thank you, doctor, for explaining things in such amazingly. This video will be helpful for many. Treatments are available and they are also helping many. But people don't have knowledge. Such videos are helpful in understanding these treatments. Keep sharing such videos. Helping others is a good thing.
Thank you, doctor. This was useful information. I have a different opinion, though. And I think it's valid. I think different methods fit different people. Fresh transfer did not work for me. Frozen did, but my sister had it vice versa completely.
Thank you, doctor. This was useful information.Frozen embryos are a fantastic discovery. It's great to see this development.i am glad to know this that you are doing this.its great work.amzaing
Thank you so much, sir, for sharing this information with us. I also watch some videos from different doctors and they also explain that FET is far better with good results. Thank you so much for confirming this thing to me.
Hello, doctor. I hope you're alright. This was a really informative video. This is super important information. It was very helpful. Thank you for doing this. Keep up the good work.
Hey Dear! I just watched your video. It's amazing and quite informative. By the way, the frozen embryo is a more prior option over fresh embryo. Perhaps, it has high success rates. Honestly, such methods have a great role behind of success of every infertile couple.
"hello dear
hope you are good. it very help full for me.thanks for sharing it. Frozen embryos helps to save money and time. This will also help in secondary attempts. Specially for those who fails in their first attempt.This is a great technology. I loved this idea of frozen embryos. "
What a lovely video. Thank you for talking about this. It's a head-scratcher, really. Most would go for the common misconception. Keep up the brilliant work. I loved this video! You are brilliant!
This video is amazing. And the way they have interact with their viewers. It amazes me. Thank you for making this video and sharing it with us. It i very informative and i am sure it will help many people out there. Keep going strong.
hello. thank you, doctor. this is such an amazing video. all things very well explained the very informative video. keep sharing this. many people should know about this. by benefiting.
Technology s helping mankind in many ways. Embryo transfer is one of them. Th technology helping many couples to have babies. My friend had gone through the same phase. She is satisfied with this treatment. She contacted a good clinic for the transfer. Thankfully her treatment was successful. She is now mother of a baby.
Thanks doc, It was great hearing from ya. People need to know more about these procedures. We need to tackle this head on. Thanks again for this video. Take care.
Hi. how are you. This information is so useful. Thank you for sharing it with us doctor. It really is helpful. I think both ways would help an infertile patient.
Thank you for your reply. Can you give me any idea why my fresh transfer wasn't successful. I'm 38 I had icsi and we had a AA hatching blastocyst and a text book womb. They said it wasn't cesrrating the right chemicals? I have a AB blastocyst on ice. But I really don't understand and I'm thinking is this just a game of chance?
There are many possible reasons for IVF failure involving the embryos and the uterus. I common reason for failure in older women is chromosome abnormalities in the embryos. ua-cam.com/play/PLRw9eBrJSV06YqVrYORrlfnPc2jyqp-yU.html
Hi, How are you? It’s important to note this because that hormonal treatment is one of the factors that can contribute to fresh embryo vs frozen embryo success rates as we’ll see shortly.
I had my IVF 1st transfer at exactly 15 days I bled. The doctor gave me higher dose of progesterone then after 1 week i visited my original doctor and said I had to stop all the medication because the embryos already dead. After i stopped medications I bleed and the big blood with a tail came out. Then I had my second attemp from the same frozen group of embryo. At the day of the transfer at least 4 hours before the embryo transfer the clinic immediately informed me that the embryo died during thawing. The problem here is that we have fully paid the program and they already closed this programmed as consumed. I am protesting that the egg was not a good egg because nothing had been survived and the IVF clinic wants us to pay again if we wanted to continue the program. The full payment that we did is already voided according to them. This is horrible! The embryo died during thawing so either the it is already damaged before or after freezing and it is not my fault but they want to take all the money that we had paid for that! Is that possible? Is that correct? That the clinic donot like to answer for the failed embryo or take our money as easy as that?
Embryo freezing is not without risk. Freezing of embryos can cause egg crystals to form in the embryo. Upon thawing, these ice crystals can damage the embryo. At IVF1, our survival rate upon thawing embryos is around 97-98%. These survival rates can vary widely according to the techniques that a program uses.
@InfertilityTV - Hi, you mentioned certain groups like women above 35. What about low responders in their 40's doing blastocyst transfers. Is it also better to do frozen compared to fresh? I'm confused because the Duke study says something else regarding low responders. Thank you for an answer.
Hey doctor. hope you are going well. Recently I have subscribed to your channel. then I came to know that all of your videos are very interesting. But dear one problem that I had to face during seeing it is that I can’t understand it thoroughly. What do you want to say about it? I am very confused. so, can you explain it briefly to me? thanks in advance.
hi dear! I am very happy to see you again in this video. you always come with a new bring up-to-date. And it's very interesting that the science has progressed a lot that it discovers all the treatments of the diseases. I am so happy that we are not more than to bear the pain of infertility. we will also be able to have a baby. Thank you. and take care.
hello dear! Such a great information you are provided us. It's very awesome news dear. I am very happy that you are creating awareness in us. As the technology has progressed a lot. but many people lack this awareness like the people in the past. But you are doing a great job. Well done dear. still, carry on your struggles.
Hi. Iv just had fresh transfer fail. I think I had ohss at the time could this be the reason it failed. I had a AA blastocyst and text book bomb I'm 38 years old and I'm waiting for a FET in three weeks with my frozen blastocyst. I think the clinic should check for ohss. Why waste a good embryo
OHSS is more common and more severe in pregnant patients. There is no evidence that it is associated with lower pregnancy rates.
Does embryo transfer technique cause ectopic in ivf?what is the mechanism that embryos migrate into the tube from uterus? Usually embryo formed in fallopian tube migrates to uterus in normal conception with the help of cilia beating towards uterus in fallopian tube.
There is limited evidence that transfer too high in the uterine cavity may increase the risk for an ectopic. The fallopian tube does a number of things: clilia, contractions, secretions, electrical impulses etc that when WORKING correctly should allow sperm up and a fertilized egg down. It is theorized that abnormalities in these functions are what causes an ectopic
Hello Dr randy I have a question on you. I am 21 years old now and live in austria. I was diagnosed with an uterus septum and Endometrioses Stage 2. This all was removed in June 2017. In August 2017 I had my ivf where all embryos where frozen. In October I had the first transfer of an blastozyst and I'd worked but at least it was a biochemical pregnancy. I have now 13 blastocyst frozen. Do you think I have a good change to get pregnant with this? Can you make a video where you were talking about some extras what a person can do by a Fet day 5 transfer? I mean embryo glue, assisted hatching etc. Yours Michelle
It sounds like your chances are good. Did you have any further transfers? working on a video now about "extra add ons" in FET cycles

Hey there, How are you ?. What an amazing video. Frozen embryos are a fantastic discovery. It's great to see this development. It's helping us greatly. Cannot possibly thank science enough! So many options. They've spolit us.
