Embryo Freezing

Embryo freezing, also known as cryopreservation, is a sophisticated technique that allows us to preserve embryos at ultra-low temperatures, essentially pausing their development. This offers numerous benefits for individuals and couples undergoing fertility treatment.

Who Can Benefit from Embryo Freezing?

Patients undergoing IVF:
- Embryo freezing allows you to save surplus embryos from a fresh IVF cycle for future use, eliminating the need for additional ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval procedures.
Patients at risk of losing their fertility:
- Individuals facing medical treatments like chemotherapy or surgery that may compromise their fertility can freeze embryos beforehand to preserve their chances of having biological children in the future.
Patients planning to delay childbearing:
- Embryo freezing offers the option to preserve your embryos at a younger age, potentially increasing the likelihood of a successful pregnancy when you are ready to start your family.
Patients with poor endometrial lining:
- If the uterine lining is not optimal for embryo transfer in a fresh cycle, embryos can be frozen and transferred in a subsequent cycle when the lining is more receptive.

The Embryo Freezing Process

Embryo Development:
- Embryos are created through in vitro fertilisation (IVF) using your eggs and sperm.
Cryoprotection:
- A special solution called a cryoprotectant is added to the embryos to protect them from ice crystal formation during the freezing process.
Vitrification:
- We utilise a flash-freezing technique called vitrification, which rapidly cools the embryos to -196°C (-321°F) using liquid nitrogen. This process minimises the formation of ice crystals, which can damage the embryos.
Storage:
- The frozen embryos are stored in secure tanks filled with liquid nitrogen, maintained under strict laboratory conditions

Using Your Frozen Embryos

When you are ready to use your frozen embryos, the process involves:

Thawing:
- The embryos are carefully thawed using a specialized technique.
Embryo Transfer:
- The thawed embryos are transferred into your uterus to achieve a successful pregnancy.
