Fresh or Frozen? Understanding Embryo Transfer Decisions in IVF

from Knocked Up: The Podcast About Fertility and Women's Health · host Women's Health Melbourne

Fresh or frozen embryo transfer. Which is better? In this episode of Knocked Up, Jordi Morrison and fertility specialist Dr Raelia Lew unpack one of the most common and confusing IVF questions. Together, they explain what actually happens in fresh and frozen embryo transfers, how hormones and the uterine lining affect implantation, and why the “best” option depends entirely on the individual. From embryo freezing technology and safety considerations to cumulative success rates and long term family planning, this conversation breaks down the science while reinforcing one clear message: IVF is never one size fits all, and personalised medical advice matters.
