Which term is commonly abbreviated as eSET?

• A. Elective single embryo transfer (eSET)
• B. Embryo transfer cycle
• C. Embryo fragmentation
• D. Embryo donation (for reproduction)

Answer: (A)

The key idea tested is knowing common IVF abbreviations. eSET stands for elective single embryo transfer, formed directly from the words: elective (E) plus single embryo transfer (SET). This term is used to describe a policy of transferring only one embryo on purpose to lower the risk of multiple pregnancies and their complications, while still aiming for a successful birth. The other terms describe different concepts: embryo transfer cycle would be a different acronym, embryo fragmentation relates to embryo quality issues, and embryo donation refers to giving embryos for reproduction, each with its own abbreviation.
