Cryopreservation.

Embryos, Eggs and Sperm Freezing.


During an IVF procedure, it is likely to pick up more embryos than is required for one cycle, and then with modern technology, cryoconserve the remaining embryos at extremely low temperatures. These frozen tissue or cells are the property of the partners and storage for the following IVF treatment if an IVF attempt would fail.


 The advantages of cryopreservation are that the female avoids the ovarian stimulation process as well as a eggs retrieval. Woman prepares only for carrying new embryos. Besides the effective program, cryopreservation allows for the avoidance or decrease the number of pregnancies with two or three embryos, which is one of the common problems.

Cryopreservation is a form of “support" for the parents as it is difficult to forecast, whether there will be a successful ovarian productivity and fertilization in the future. By retaining frozen "leftover" embryos, parents raise their chances of having a baby. Also cryopreservation, gives some economic advantages – the value of the frozen embryos is much cheaper than a "fresh" IVF attempt. Any signs of impact on a pregnancy, correlated with cryopreservation, have not been shown.
