Woman’s ovaries are stimulated to produce many eggs in the IVF treatment, and the best ones are selected for the fertility treatment, rest will be freezed for the future use, incase of multiple good embryos are found. In the future ovaries need not be stimulated for the IVF treatment again, as the embryos are already freezed. On an average 75% of embryos will survive the freeze cycle. There are stories of 10 year frozen embryos have generated successful pregnancies (depends on the quality of the embryo). Unused stored embryos are also great source of stem cells.

Each embryos are stored in a pre-labelled, colour coded straws along with the identification information. Hence it can be easily tracked and monitored. The frozen embryos are tracked 365 days a year, and physically checked for any problems by the Embryologists.

Generally, no one knows what the maximum storage period might be. The procedures for human embryo freezing were developed in 1984 and only went into widespread use in the late 1980s. So, the longest time a human embryo had been stored is around 25-30 years and, typically, patients that have left embryos in storage for this long usually don’t come back for them. Some patients have come back after 10-12 years and the embryos have been thawed successfully and created healthy babies.

Embryo freezing is a gift by the science for childless couple for assisted reproductive technology. AMH-Anti Mullarian hormone test is been conducted to know the reserve of embryos in the ovary. Hence the individual can take a call whether this savings can be done now or in the near future.

Embryo freezing is a process of freezing embryos for future use. It is an effective way to preserve the health of your eggs and to avoid the risk of miscarriage. The process of freezing embryos is also known as vitrification.

There are many benefits of embryo freezing, including:

1. Increased success rates: Embryo freezing can increase the success rates of in vitro fertilization (IVF). This is because the frozen embryos can be thawed and used at a later date, when the woman’s body is more receptive to pregnancy.
2. Reduced risk of ovarian cancer: Women who freeze their embryos have a reduced risk of developing ovarian cancer. This is because the ovaries are removed during the egg retrieval process, which reduces the exposure to potential carcinogens.
3. Avoidance of genetic diseases: If you are concerned about passing on genetic diseases to your children, embryo freezing can help you avoid this risk. This is because the embryos can be screened for genetic diseases before they are implanted into the uterus.
4. Cost-effective: Embryo freezing is a cost-effective fertility treatment option, especially when compared to other fertility treatments such as IVF.
