Excerpt

The paper by Luke et al. published in this issue of JARG is bound to heat up the debate about freezing embryos (frozen embryo transfer, FET, versus transfer of fresh embryos) during in vitro fertilization. The practice of IVF already has moved towards greater use of FET, in part to reduce complications associated with ovarian hyperstimulation and in part to accommodate pre-implantation genetic screening (PGS). …
