[quote=Anonymous]OP, did you have any pre-implantation genetic testing on your embryos?  If not, keep in mind that the ones that look "best" under a microscope may not be genetically normal, while your average looking embryos may be normal, and thus, have better developmental potential than the embryos that look fabulous before the freeze.

Also, doing a transfer fresh after a retrieval means that the stim meds are still in your body, and in some cases, your uterine lining might be a little too thin or too thick because the priority during stims was growing eggs, not growing an optimal lining.  In an FET, the sole focus is getting your lining and hormones exactly where they should be to support a pregnancy.  The stim meds should be out of your body by FET, and the docs can have you prep for a day or two less or a day or two more to get the lining thickness exactly where they want it.

If you tend to hyperstimulate, this can also complicate fresh transfer but is usually a non-issue with FET.

Personally, I did one fresh transfer and got pregnant but had a nasty case of hyperstimulation that made me look six months pregnant immediately and caused tremendous stress and physical discomfort.  It turns out that the embryo was genetically abnormal and I miscarried.  I've since done two elective single embryo FETs using embryos that were genetically screened before transfer.  Got pregnant both times.  First baby is a perfect toddler now and second just entered the second trimester.  Overall, even apart from the genetic screening (which I highly recommend for AMA women), I'm a huge fan of FET because it eliminates the hyperstim risk and more closely mimics the uterine conditions in an unassisted pregnancy.
