Embryo freezing (cryopreservation) holds a significant place among assisted reproductive techniques.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does freezing embryos lower pregnancy success rates?
No, thanks to modern vitrification techniques, frozen embryos maintain high viability and offer success rates comparable to fresh embryo transfers.
How long can embryos be stored?
Embryos can be stored indefinitely in liquid nitrogen tanks under controlled conditions and can be thawed for use whenever needed.
Who is a candidate for embryo freezing?
It is recommended for couples undergoing genetic screening, patients at risk of OHSS, or individuals planning to preserve fertility for the future.
