Hi, I'm a bit confused and wonder if anyone can shed some light on the thawing process.
My question is; Once a frozen embryo has been thawed is it re-evaluated to see if it has survived the thaw or how damaged it is before transfer so you can decide if it is worthwhile attempting a transfer or not? I understand the process has to be done within 40 mins and not sure if that allows time for inspecting it before transfer.
What I guess I'm really asking is if you have two frozens and the first one doesn't thaw sucessfully can you then attempt to thaw the other one all in the same cycle or is it a wasted trip half way around the world? Thanks.
