Embryo freezing preserves IVF-created embryos at very low temperatures for possible future thawing and transfer into the uterus.
Embryo transfer places an IVF-created embryo inside the uterus, where it must implant before pregnancy can develop.
Frozen embryo transfer places a previously frozen and thawed embryo into the uterus after the lining is prepared for possible implantation and pregnancy.
