The first live birth in the world after frozen embryo transfer occurred in 1984. In our country, Prof. Dr. Semra Kahraman and her team tried embryo freezing for the first time in 1994 and achieved the first live birth (twins) in 1995. As a result of developments in IVF treatment, especially embryo culture and freezing process, the number of frozen-thawed embryo transfers has significantly increased. Many studies have reported that frozen-thawed embryo transfers have a higher success rate than fresh transfers.

Aneuploidy screening may diagnose embryos as euploid (normal, two chromosomes for each pair and 46 in total), aneuploid (abnormal, increased or decreased number of chromosomes) or mosaic.
