What is Embryo Cryopreservation?

Embryo cryopreservation is an advanced fertility technique where viable embryos are frozen and stored at extremely low temperatures for future use. During treatments like IVF and ICSI, the best embryos are selected for immediate transfer, while the remaining good-quality embryos are preserved.

These embryos are stored in liquid nitrogen at –196°C, ensuring long-term viability. This allows couples to plan future pregnancies without undergoing another egg retrieval cycle.

Importance of Cryopreservation in IVF

Cryopreservation of gametes and embryos is an essential part of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). It enhances the safety and effectiveness of fertility treatments and increases the chances of successful pregnancy through frozen embryo transfer cycles.

The number of frozen embryo transfer cycles is increasing due to their improved success rates compared to fresh cycles.

Embryo Transfer Procedure

Embryo transfer is performed after the cryopreservation process or during a fresh IVF cycle. Usually, 2 to 3 embryos are transferred after detailed consultation to minimize the risk of multiple pregnancies.

The procedure is carried out in an operation theater and typically does not require anesthesia. A speculum is gently inserted to visualize the cervix, which is then cleaned. The embryos are loaded into a thin catheter and carefully placed into the uterus under ultrasound guidance.

After the transfer, the catheter is checked by the embryologist to ensure that all embryos have been successfully placed in the uterus.
