Assisted Hatching with FET

EMNTOMEMNTOM
in Infertility

Today I read on a few different sites that assisted hatching is recommended if  "You are using frozen embryos (since the zona may be hardened as a result of cryopreservation)"


If you had an FET did you also have assisted hatching? When I had my WTF appointment and discussed moving on with our snowbabies this was not mentioned to me.  I guess just something else to add to my list of questions for our RE.

    It's standard protocol for my clinic to do AH if it's a FET or if the woman is over 35.  RE told me that the outer shell of the egg becomes harder when frozen, or as a woman ages, and AH to helps promote implantation.  Their FET success rates are pretty darn close to their fresh cycle success rates.
    Me: 35 DH: 37 TTC since 4/2010
    DX: 6/9/2011: Azoo ICSI/IVF only option for biological child

    1st u/s at 6w6d - one hb * 2nd u/s at 8w3d - no hb detected 11/10/11 * natural m/c 11/13/11
    FET #1 Jan/Feb 2012 - 3 delays - cancelled 2/13
    FET #1.2 - May/June 2012 - ET 6/6/* beta#1 6/15 - 95 * beta #2 6/19 - 322 * beta #3 6/22 - 940

    Yes my clinic automatically performs AH with all FETs because of the hardened shell.
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
