Progesterone suppositories can cause irritation, vaginal discharge, and yeast infections. Compared to injections, they’re less painful but might have lower absorption rates.

The main difference between fresh and frozen embryo transfers in IVF lies in the timing of transferring embryos to the uterus.
Fresh Embryo Transfer happens in the same IVF cycle. After eggs are retrieved and fertilized, the embryos are transferred to the uterus within a few days (usually 3-5 days). IVF software helps clinics precisely track hormone levels, schedule procedures and ensure the transfer aligns with the optimal time for implantation.
Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) involves freezing embryos after fertilization and transferring them in a later cycle. This gives time for the body to recover or for the uterine lining to be prepared. IVF software plays a key role in managing embryo freezing and thawing schedules, monitoring progress and coordinating all steps seamlessly.
Modern clinics use IVF software for organizing patient records, monitoring treatment cycles, optimizing timing and generating reports. This advanced technology ensures both fresh and frozen transfers are handled with greater accuracy and efficiency, improving the chances of success and offering a more personalized treatment experience.
