Gestational Age Based on Early HCG
Gestational age can be estimated based on HCG value when the HCG value is below 10,000 mIU/mL (gestational ages 3 weeks 0 days to 5 weeks 2 days).
Gestational Carrier FET
The fetal heartbeat rate for HRT FET protocols for euploid embryo transfer to a gestational carrier is 70% at our center.
ICSI vs Conventional Insemination
The complex topic of deciding on ICSI vs conventional insemination is explained simply and clearly. ICSI is preferred approximately 70% of the time.
Impact of HCG Level After FET
14 days after embryo transfer, an HCG value of 500 mIU/mL or higher is a good sign that the pregnancy will progress to have a fetal heart beat on US.
Laser Assisted Hatching (LAH)
Laser assisted hatching does not appear to have any impact on pregnancy rates after frozen embryo transfer.
Number of Embryos to Transfer
Rates of twins and higher order multiples are estimated based on age at oocyte retrieval and number of embryos transferred.
