Frozen Embryo Transfer Clinics in Canada
Frozen embryo transfer (FET) is the procedure used when embryos created and frozen during a previous IVF cycle are thawed and transferred to the uterus. We list 58 Canadian fertility clinics offering FET. The shift to freeze-all and FET cycles has been one of the biggest changes in IVF practice in the past decade — allowing more flexibility, often higher success rates compared to fresh transfers, and the option to test embryos genetically (PGT-A) before transfer. FET cycles in Canada typically cost $2,500 to $5,000 each, plus medications. Most provinces with IVF funding programs cover at least some FET cycles as part of the funded treatment.
What to look for in a Frozen Embryo Transfer clinic
- Both natural-cycle and medicated (hormone replacement) FET protocols
- Embryology lab quality — thaw survival rates should exceed 95 percent for vitrified embryos
- Clear pricing per FET attempt including medications and monitoring
- Whether the clinic participates in your province's IVF funding program for FET
- PGT-A genetic testing experience if you want chromosomally screened transfers

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a frozen embryo transfer cost in Canada?▼
FET cycles typically cost $2,500 to $5,000 plus medications ($500 to $2,000) depending on whether it's a natural or medicated cycle. PGT-A genetic testing of embryos (if done before transfer) is a separate, earlier cost.
Are FET cycles more successful than fresh transfers?▼
For many patients yes — modern FET cycles often have similar or higher live birth rates than fresh transfers, partly because the body has recovered from stimulation hormones. Your specialist can discuss what's best for your situation.
How long can embryos stay frozen?▼
Embryos can be safely stored frozen for many years. Successful pregnancies have resulted from embryos frozen for over 20 years.
Does provincial IVF funding cover FET cycles?▼
Most provinces that fund IVF (Ontario, Quebec, BC, etc.) cover at least one FET as part of the funded cycle. Specifics vary — Ontario's funded cycle includes related FETs from that retrieval, for example.
Natural FET vs. medicated FET — which is better?▼
Natural FET uses your own ovulation cycle with no or minimal hormones, while medicated FET uses estrogen and progesterone to prepare the lining. Outcomes are comparable for most patients. Natural cycles require regular monitoring; medicated cycles offer more scheduling flexibility.
