Embryo Freezing

Embryo Freezing

What is Embryo Freezing and Why Choose Ferticare IVF Asist for Embryo Freezing?

Embryo freezing, also known as embryo cryopreservation, is a process that allows embryos to be preserved for future use. This advanced fertility preservation technique is often used by couples undergoing In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) who wish to store extra embryos for later use. By freezing embryos, you have the flexibility to plan for future pregnancies without undergoing another complete IVF cycle. At Ferticare IVF Asist, we offer state-of-the-art embryo freezing services, ensuring that your embryos are preserved safely and effectively for when you’re ready to grow your family.

At Ferticare IVF Asist, we recognize that the decision to freeze embryos is an important step in your fertility journey. Our experienced team of fertility specialists and embryologists is dedicated to providing exceptional care and using the latest cryopreservation techniques. We prioritize the safety and viability of your embryos, giving you peace of mind that your future reproductive plans are in good hands.

Who Should Consider Embryo Freezing?

Embryo freezing is an ideal option for:

Individuals or couples not ready for immediate pregnancy but want to preserve fertility options for the future.

Couples undergoing IVF

Those who have extra embryos after a successful IVF cycle and wish to store them for future use.

Women facing medical treatments

Women who may undergo medical treatments, such as chemotherapy, that could affect fertility in the future.

Couples planning for multiple pregnancies

Those who wish to space out pregnancies while using embryos created during a single IVF cycle.

How Does Embryo Freezing Work?

The process of embryo freezing at Ferticare IVF Asist involves several key steps:

Embryo Creation

Embryos are created during an IVF cycle by fertilizing eggs with sperm in our laboratory. The healthiest and most viable embryos are selected for freezing.

Embryo Development

After fertilization, the embryos are allowed to develop for a few days until they reach the blastocyst stage. This stage offers the best chance for successful implantation after thawing.

Vitrification (Freezing)

The selected embryos are frozen using a technique called vitrification, which rapidly cools the embryos to prevent ice crystal formation. This process ensures high survival rates when the embryos are thawed.

Storage

The frozen embryos are stored in liquid nitrogen at ultra-low temperatures, where they can remain viable for years. Our secure storage facilities are monitored continuously to maintain optimal conditions.

Future Use

When you’re ready to use your frozen embryos, they will be carefully thawed and prepared for transfer to the uterus. The success rates for pregnancies using frozen embryos are comparable to those using fresh embryos.

Embryos can be stored for many years without losing viability. The length of storage does not significantly impact the success rates of future pregnancies.

Yes, the success rates of pregnancy using frozen embryos are comparable to those using fresh embryos. Advances in vitrification have made frozen embryo transfers highly successful.

When you’re ready, the embryos are carefully thawed and prepared for transfer to your uterus. The transfer procedure is similar to a fresh embryo transfer and typically results in high pregnancy success rates.

Embryo freezing is a safe and well-established procedure. The primary risk is the possibility that some embryos may not survive the freezing and thawing process, but vitrification has significantly reduced this risk.

The number of embryos to freeze depends on the outcome of your IVF cycle and your family planning goals. Your fertility specialist will help determine the optimal number based on your individual circumstances.
