What are the key differences between fresh and frozen IVF cycles, including the timing, medication requirements and success rates associated with each approach?
Fresh IVF cycles use newly harvested eggs and sperm; embryos are transferred shortly after fertilization. Frozen cycles use previously frozen embryos. Fresh cycles often require more medication and monitoring. Success rates vary based on individual fertility profiles.
Fresh IVF cycles use newly harvested eggs & sperm, needing synchronization of egg retrieval with embryo transfer. Frozen cycles use preserved embryos, allowing flexible timing and often lower doses of hormones. Success rates vary based on individual factors.
