Natural cycle frozen embryo transfer

Written by Zayn Miah & R KhanomLast updated 17 September 2026Not clinically reviewed

A frozen embryo transfer timed around a woman's own natural ovulation, without stimulation drugs to control the cycle.

In plain English

It's a frozen transfer timed to your own natural cycle and ovulation, rather than using medication to build and control your womb lining.

Why it matters

It suits people who ovulate regularly and means fewer medications, though it requires precise cycle monitoring to time the transfer.
