What is a frozen embryo transfer (FET)?

Embryo transfer is usually a short procedure in which the embryo is placed into the uterus through a thin catheter under ultrasound guidance. Many patients find it easier than retrieval because it is often done without full anesthesia, though comfort and instructions such as arriving with a fuller bladder vary by clinic. What matters most is the quality of the embryo, uterine lining, and transfer technique rather than strict bed rest afterward.
