Embryo Freezing

Embryo freezing is the preservation of fertilized eggs for future use. It’s ideal for couples undergoing IVF, individuals delaying parenthood, or those facing medical treatments like chemotherapy. The process safeguards fertility and allows embryos to be stored for future implantation when the time is right.

After fertilization in a lab, embryos are monitored and frozen using vitrification, a rapid freezing method that prevents ice formation. The embryos are then stored in liquid nitrogen tanks at ultra-low temperatures. They can remain viable for years with little to no decline in quality or success rate.

Embryos frozen through vitrification have high survival and implantation rates comparable to fresh embryos. Success also depends on embryo quality, age at the time of freezing, and the woman’s health during transfer. Many healthy pregnancies result from frozen embryo transfers worldwide using this proven technique.

Embryos can be stored safely for many years—often a decade or more. Clinics typically offer renewable annual storage plans. Scientific research shows embryos preserved over long periods still result in healthy births, making long-term storage a practical and secure option for family planning flexibility.

Yes. Embryo freezing involves fertilized eggs (embryos), while egg freezing preserves unfertilized eggs. Embryo freezing generally has higher success rates in future pregnancies. The choice depends on individual circumstances such as marital status, fertility goals, and preferences for future use of the preserved biological material.

Yes, in most cases. Many fertility clinics offer transport services for moving frozen embryos between countries. However, legal, ethical, and import/export regulations vary, so it’s essential to consult with your clinic and legal advisor before transferring embryos internationally for future fertility treatments.

Costs typically include fertilization, freezing, and initial storage (1 year), with optional annual fees for continued storage. Prices vary by clinic and country. We help you find affordable embryo freezing services through our global partner network without compromising on quality or medical safety standards.

Yes. Numerous studies confirm that babies born from frozen embryos are as healthy as those from fresh embryos. The vitrification method maintains embryo integrity, and there’s no increased risk of birth defects or complications compared to other fertility methods. It’s a well-established and safe approach.

Absolutely. We provide full support for international patients, from choosing a trusted fertility clinic to scheduling treatments and storage options. Our team coordinates consultations, legal paperwork, and post-treatment care to ensure a smooth, transparent, and worry-free experience with embryo freezing abroad.

Embryo freezing allows patients to preserve extra embryos from an IVF cycle for future use. This reduces the need for repeat stimulation cycles, lowers overall treatment costs, and gives couples additional chances to achieve pregnancy from a single egg retrieval and fertilization procedure.
