Single embryo transfer

Single embryo transfer (SET) is a fertility treatment where only one developing embryo is transferred to a woman’s uterus during an in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle. This approach reduces the risk of multiple pregnancies, such as twins or triplets, which can pose health risks for both the mother and babies. Advances in embryo selection techniques have improved the success rates of SET, allowing many women to get pregnant with just one embryo. It is a careful, controlled procedure aimed at maximizing safety, maintaining good pregnancy chances, and promoting healthier outcomes.
