Embryo Freezing

Many a time, multiple embryos are formed during an IVF or IVF-ICSI cycle. In such situations, excess embryos can be frozen and used in future frozen embryo transfer cycles, giving couples and women another chance of pregnancy without needing to go through ovarian stimulation and egg collection again. Embryo freezing is also recommended for couples if either partner as an autoimmune condition which can impact their fertility or has to undergo medical treatments like chemotherapy. Success rates of frozen embryo transfers are similar to fresh embryo transfers.

At Birla Fertility & IVF, we use the latest fast-freezing technique (vitrification) for embryo freezing and frozen embryo transfer cycles for those who wish to use their frozen embryos from previous fertility treatments. All frozen embryos are stored on site at our state-of-the-art laboratory in accordance with ICMR (Indian Council of Medical Research) guidelines.
