Embryo freezing, also known as Embryo cryopreservation, is a process used during in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. It involves the freezing and storage of embryos that are not immediately transferred to the woman's uterus during the IVF cycle.Embryo freezing offers several advantages, including the ability to preserve embryos for future use, avoiding the need for repeated egg retrievals and reducing the risks and costs associated with repeated IVF cycles. Additionally, some couples choose to freeze embryos for personal or medical reasons, such as when facing cancer treatments that may affect fertility.
Hormonal medications stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs.
Mature eggs are retrieved through minimally invasive transvaginal ultrasound aspiration.
In a lab, eggs are fertilized with sperm conventionally or via intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). .
Embryos are monitored for 3 to 5 days to ensure proper growth.
Surplus embryos are cryopreserved using vitrification to prevent ice crystal formation.
The embryos are stored in liquid nitrogen until needed for future use.
The embryos are thawed gradually under controlled conditions.
Viable embryos are transferred to the uterus, potentially leading to pregnancy.
The embryo survival rate after cryopreservation is relatively high with a high embryo freezing success rate. Research indicates that women opting for frozen embryo transfer stand a good chance of delivering healthy offspring compared to those choosing fresh embryo transfer. Statistical data shows that vitrification, a rapid cooling technique, enhances embryo survival, as well as the success rate of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), thereby improving overall pregnancy rates when compared to conventional slow embryo freezing.
