What are the risks and recovery expectations for FET?

Risks are minimal but may include mild cramping or spotting after transfer, and a small chance of embryo damage during thawing (though modern vitrification techniques yield >95% survival rates). The main medical risk is multiple pregnancy if more than one embryo is transferred, which increases chances of preterm labor. Recovery is straightforward: you can resume normal activities immediately, though heavy exercise and intercourse are typically advised against for a few days. No bed rest is required, and most patients return to work the same day. Emotional support is recommended during the two-week wait before pregnancy testing.
