Fresh embryo transfer

Transferring an embryo in the same cycle as egg collection.

Treatment

A fresh transfer takes place two to six days after egg collection, without freezing. It shortens the time to a result but is avoided where OHSS risk is high, where progesterone has risen early, or where genetic testing is planned.

Also known as: fresh transfer
