EMBRYO FREEZING

step by step to happiness

Embryo freezing

The process of freezing the embryo (the cell formed by the fertilisation of the egg by the sperm) is called embryo freezing.

How is embryo freezing carried out?

Embryos that can be frozen at all stages of development are mixed with a protective liquid and placed in glass tubes and frozen at -196 degrees in liquid nitrogen. When frozen embryos are to be thawed, they are removed from liquid nitrogen and thawed at room temperature. It is removed from the protective liquid and placed in a special culture medium. It can be transferred later. The survival probability of frozen and thawed embryos varies depending on the freezing stage, freezing technique, embryo quality, genetic factors and embryo freezing success rates of the centre. In general, the probability of survival of frozen embryos is about 90%. The probability of pregnancy after transfer of embryos obtained in this way varies depending on the age of the woman

  • In cases where surgery is required in the uterus.
  • Before interventions such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
