Embryo Freezing / Cryopreservation of
Embryos |
|
|
 |
|
 |

Cryopreservation is the freezing
and thawing of embryos for use
in future in vitro fertilization
(IVF) cycles.
During an IVF cycle, the
fertilized eggs are transferred
to incubators where they develop
until ready for transfer to the
uterus, usually 3-5 days.
The number of mature embryos
available for transfer varies by
patient, as does the number
placed back in the uterus. Since
the maximum number of embryos
that will be transferred to the
uterus is limited, there are
often excess embryos.
Embryologists have perfected
techniques for transferring
embryos to different solutions
as they are frozen and thawed.
Great care is taken not to
rupture the membrane surrounding
the embryo.
This procedure is ideal for
women who facing chemotherapy
for cancer treatment since eggs
in their ovaries will become
damaged after chemotherapy. So
preserving their fertile eggs
prior to chemotherapy will be
the only way to preserve their
fertility. The major advantages
to using frozen embryos in
future IVF cycles is that the
female does not have to undergo
ovulation induction, which also
dramatically reduces medication
cost. Success rates are variable
depending on patient
characteristics, embryo quality
and clinical history.
