Embryo and Gametes Freezing
Embryo & Gametes Freezing
Preserve Today. Plan Tomorrow.
Freezing embryos, eggs, or sperm empowers you to take control of your reproductive future—whether you’re planning ahead, tackling medical challenges, or maximizing IVF success.
What Is Cryopreservation?
Cryopreservation refers to freezing fertilized eggs (embryos) or gametes (eggs/sperm) at ultra-low temperatures using advanced vitrification methods. This halts biological processes—essentially pausing fertility at its peak, to be used when you’re ready.
Why Choose Embryo & Gamete Freezing?
Boost IVF Success & Flexibility
Multiple embryos from one IVF cycle can be frozen and used later, maximising pregnancy potential without repeated procedures.
Frozen embryo transfer (FET) often yields equal or higher success than fresh cycles, thanks to optimised uterine conditions.
Ethically Informed Family Planning
Freezing enables genetic screening (PGT/PGS) before transfer, helping reduce genetic risks and build healthier families.
The ability to freeze all good-quality embryos enables safer single-embryo transfers, thereby reducing the risks of multiple births.
Safeguarding Fertility
Ideal for women undergoing chemotherapy/radiation or for those delaying parenthood due to career, personal, or health reasons.
Long-term Viability & Peace of Mind
Cryopreserved embryos retain their original quality, regardless of when they were frozen, even after decades.
Over 95% survive thawing, and survival rates remain stable over time.
The Freezing Process: Step by Step
Hormonal Stimulation & Egg/Sperm Collection
Medications stimulate eggs (or collect sperm) before fertilization.
Fertilisation & Embryo Culture
Sperm fertilizes eggs; embryos develop to the blastocyst stage (Day 5–6).
Vitrification
Embryo cells are treated with cryoprotectants and flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen to prevent ice damage.
Secure Storage
Kept in liquid nitrogen tanks under constant monitoring. Embryos can remain viable indefinitely.
Thaw & Transfer
When ready, embryos are gently thawed, hormonal support is started, and embryo transfer proceeds.
Risks & Considerations
Thaw Survival: A small percentage may not survive freezing/thawing, but the majority do, thanks to vitrification.
Medical Procedures: Egg retrieval involves mild surgical risks and hormone-related side effects.
Multiple Births: If multiple embryos are implanted, risks increase, though our clinic emphasises elective single-embryo transfer (eSET).
Ethical Choices: You retain full control over unused embryos: continue storage, donation, or disposal—handled according to your preferences.
