Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) is a type of assisted reproductive technology where a previously frozen embryo is thawed and transferred into the uterus. In New Zealand, FET is offered to couples who have undergone IVF or ICSI and have frozen embryos. This treatment aims to establish a successful pregnancy. It generally has lower risks than fresh embryo transfers and allows better selection of the most viable embryo.
New Zealand's public healthcare system covers some infertility treatments, but not FET. Private clinics offer this service at an average cost of NZD 5,000 to NZD 10,000 per cycle.
