What is Embryo Freezing?

Embryo freezing, also known as embryo cryopreservation, is a procedure that involves the freezing and storage of embryos for later use. This process is commonly used in assisted reproductive technologies, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), to preserve embryos that are not transferred during a fertility treatment cycle. By freezing embryos, individuals and couples can increase their chances of achieving a successful pregnancy in the future.

Step 1: Ovarian Stimulation and Egg Retrieval

The embryo freezing process begins with ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval. During this step, you will undergo hormonal therapy to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. Once the eggs are mature, they will be retrieved through a minor surgical procedure performed under sedation. The retrieved eggs will then be fertilized with sperm to create embryos in the laboratory.

Step 2: Embryo Culture and Monitoring

After fertilization, the embryos will be cultured in a specialized incubator to monitor their development. Our embryologists will closely monitor the embryos to assess their quality and viability. This step is crucial in determining which embryos are suitable for freezing and future use.

Step 3: Embryo Freezing

Once the embryos reach the optimal stage of development, they will be prepared for freezing. The embryos are carefully cooled to very low temperatures using a process called vitrification to preserve their viability. The frozen embryos will then be stored in specialized tanks at our state-of-the-art fertility center until you are ready to use them.

Step 4: Thawing and Transfer

When you are ready to use the frozen embryos, they will be thawed by our embryology team. The thawed embryos will be assessed for viability, and the best-quality embryos will be selected for transfer. The embryos will be carefully transferred into the uterus during a minor procedure, and you will be closely monitored for pregnancy.
