Thanks hun for your help. I havent done the whole IVF thing yet but been looking into it...
It's all IVF, since IVF refers to how the embryo is created. Being fertilized in vitro creates the embryos. Fresh or frozen transfers, both of them start with IVF.
Oh ok thanks so much ladies. I was very confused cause they call it ivf for both of those processes here. Thanks a mil for your help explaining it to me.
IVF is how you get the embryos, whether they are later frozen or not. They are fertilized "in vitro," which means "in glass." (The petri dish.)
Sometimes embryos are transferred into the woman only a few days later, these are fresh embryo transfers, because they have never been frozen. Some are frozen and used later. An FET is a frozen embryo transfer. It would be when they thaw one or more of the frozen embryos and transfer them into the woman's uterus.
