Egg & Embryo Freezing

Egg & Embryo Freezing

Service Overview

Egg and embryo freezing uses advanced vitrification technology to store a woman’s eggs — or embryos after fertilization — at ultra-low temperatures for future use. The technique buys women a real fertility time window: bank your reproductive potential at your physical peak, then plan family life on your own schedule.

The Technology

Why Vitrification Works So Well

Vitrification is the reason modern egg freezing succeeds:

• Ultra-rapid cooling at -20,000°C per minute prevents ice crystals from forming and damaging the cell
• Egg post-thaw survival rates exceed 95%
• Fertilization and pregnancy rates approach those of fresh eggs

As early as 2013, the ASRM Practice Committee concluded that oocyte cryopreservation using vitrification should no longer be regarded as experimental — it is now standard, established clinical practice. — American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), 2013

Should You Freeze Eggs or Embryos?

Both options use the same freezing technology; the right choice depends on your situation:

• Egg freezing: right for women who have not settled on a partner yet or want to keep every option open
• Embryo freezing: right for couples already together and committed to IVF; frozen embryos carry higher success rates per transfer

If your partner’s sperm will be involved either way, you may also want to compare our fertility preservation (egg & sperm freezing) service.

What Does the Process Look Like?

The full cycle typically takes 2-3 weeks, in four steps:

1. Pre-treatment assessment (remote or on-site): AMH, six reproductive hormones, and antral follicle count
2. Ovarian stimulation (10-14 days): daily injection of stimulation medication with regular monitoring
3. Egg retrieval (15-20 minutes): performed under general anesthesia; you go home the same day
4. Cryopreservation: vitrification processing, then long-term storage in liquid nitrogen tanks
