RFC Frozen Embryo Transfer FET
RFC provides embryo cryopreservation and subsequent transfer. People who have saved embryos will enter the pre-transfer assessment, preparation and thawing stage, rather than restarting a complete egg retrieval cycle.
Frozen embryo transfer is the process of reviving frozen embryos and moving them into the uterus. People who already have embryos usually do not need to re-retrieve eggs for this transfer, but pre-transfer assessment and preparation are still required.

Embryo information and transfer preparation
Culture, freezing and existing test reports together constitute embryo data. Inter-agency transfers of specimens involve documentation and receipt conditions at the sending and receiving agencies. Preparing for transfer includes new clinical evaluation, monitoring, and follow-up pregnancy testing.
Inter-agency transfer requires the cooperation of the sender, receiver, and transporter. Medication, monitoring, and departure times should be carried out according to the receiving physician's plan.
Costs and follow-up matters to be checked with the hospital
- What are the costs of transfer preparation, monitoring, medications, thawing, and transfer?
- Who will interpret the existing test results? Is it necessary to update the assessment?
- How to settle the bill if the transfer is delayed or failed, and how to arrange the pregnancy test and follow-up after returning to the country?
