FAQs
What is embryo freezing?
Embryo freezing (cryopreservation) is a process where embryos created through IVF are frozen and stored for future use in pregnancy.
Who should consider embryo freezing?
It is recommended for individuals undergoing cancer treatment, couples delaying parenthood, or those with medical conditions that could reduce fertility in the future.
How long can embryos be stored?
Embryos can be safely stored for many years, with successful pregnancies reported even after 10–15 years of storage.
Is the freezing and thawing process safe?
Yes, with modern vitrification techniques, embryos maintain high survival rates, and the chances of success are comparable to fresh embryos.
What are the benefits of embryo freezing over egg freezing?
Embryo freezing offers higher success rates compared to egg freezing because the embryos have already been fertilized and proven viable.
