How much estrogen should I take for frozen embryo transfer?
A dose of estrogen is usually administered for 14 days, although shorter or longer cycles may be used, Estrace® is the most common form of estrogen we use. This is a pill containing 2 mg of estradiol, the same hormone produced by the ovaries. We will have you take one pill twice a day for about 14 days.
What is the protocol for a frozen embryo transfer?
FET uses embryos (fertilized eggs) that have been frozen. During the FET cycle, your embryos are thawed and placed into your uterus.

What is the best method to prepare endometrium for frozen embryo transfer?
Another frequently used method for endometrium preparation is with the exogenous administration of estrogen and progesterone (with or without a gonadotrophin-releasing-hormone (GnRH) agonist), also called the artificial cycle, and is frequently used as an alternative for the natural cycle.
How can I improve implantation after frozen embryo transfer?
Research suggests that a low dose of aspirin can improve your implantation and pregnancy outcomes. For example, one small study of 60 women found that aspirin therapy led to better outcomes for those who had a frozen‐thawed embryo transfer (FET).
How long does it take for Progynova to absorb?
The addition of a progestogen greatly reduces the oestrogen-induced risk of endometrial hyperplasia in non-hysterectomised women. After oral administration estradiol valerate is quickly and completely absorbed. Already after 0.5 – 3 hours peak plasma levels of estradiol, the active drug substance, are measured.
Can I get pregnant with Progynova?
3. Can I get pregnant by taking Progynova? Progynova should not be used by pregnant women. If you become pregnant while using Progynova, you need to stop taking it immediately.
On what day of your cycle do you do a frozen embryo transfer?
Usually, this happens anywhere between day 3 or 5 post-egg retrieval, with the transfer taking place on the subsequent day 6 from when progesterone supplementation began. For natural FET IVF cycles, the transfer takes place depending on a woman’s natural ovulation cycle, which is why monitoring is crucial.
What should I eat before FET transfer?
Supporting Your Mind & Body Before Your Embryo Transfer

It is prudent to eat more protein (animal sources like egg, low fat milk, lean meat, chicken or sparerib soup but with oil removed; or plant sources like rice, noodle, beans or bean products – tofu, soybean milk, vegetarian based meat, green or red beans, cashew nuts or walnuts) to alleviate these symptoms.

What are the different types of FET protocols?
A medicated FET, also called a programmed FET, or hormone replacement treatment, or an artificial FET (this one has a lot of names!) A natural cycle FET – which can include either a true natural cycle FET or a modified natural cycle FET. A mild ovarian stimulated FET. In this post I’ll go through the different types of FET protocols.
How is the endometrium prepared in medicated FET protocol?
In a medicated FET protocol, the endometrium is first prepared using estradiol (E2) which causes the cells of the endometrium to proliferate. Estradiol also prevents further follicles from growing because it blocks GnRH and prevents FSH/LH from being produced.
What is a modified natural cycle FET?
A modified natural cycle FET is similar to a true natural cycle except hCG is used to trigger ovulation once the leading follicle reaches 16-20 mm. The hCG trigger also causes progesterone levels to rise during the luteal phase, so this acts to some degree as luteal phase support.
