Elective Single Embryo Transfer (eSET)
Optimize Your IVF Success While Minimizing Risk
At Advanced Fertility Center of Texas, we believe that the goal of IVF is not just pregnancy — but a healthy, full-term baby and a safe experience for the mother. For many patients, especially those using genetically tested embryos (PGT-A) or under the age of 37, Elective Single Embryo Transfer (eSET) offers the best chance of achieving this outcome.
What Is eSET?
Benefits of eSET
Lower Risk of Multiples
Dramatically reduces the chance of twins or higher-order multiples
Healthier Pregnancy Outcomes
Lower rates of preterm labor, gestational diabetes, and cesarean delivery
Improved Neonatal Outcomes
Higher birth weights, fewer NICU admissions
Preserves Embryos:
Other high-quality embryos can be frozen for future use
No Compromise on Success
With strong embryos and proper lab conditions, eSET maintains high pregnancy rates
Who Should Consider eSET?
Elective Single Embryo Transfer is often ideal for:
- Women under age 40
- Patients using PGT-A-tested embryos
- First or second IVF cycles with high-quality embryos
- Those with a normal uterus and no history of implantation failure
- Patients who want to reduce health risks while preserving future fertility
eSET is not recommended in all situations. At AFCT, we individualize this decision based on your history, age, embryo quality, and goals.
Why AFCT Recommends eSET
Our IVF team — led by Dr. Michael Allon and supported by Omni Med Laboratory — prioritizes both success rates and maternal health. eSET aligns with our mission to provide:
- Personalized, data-informed care
- Safe outcomes for both parent and baby
- Ethical embryo use and cryopreservation strategy
Our state-of-the-art lab allows us to identify and freeze top-quality embryos, preserving future family-building options without compromising current outcomes.
