You have undergone IVF and a number of viable embryos have been produced. Maybe you had a successful pregnancy and have embryos left over. Or it may be that you did not get pregnant and need to take a break from infertility treatment.

Now you want to preserve the hope of building a family through Embryo Cryopreservation. Your frozen embryos will help you have a baby in the future.

After IVF

Your embryos can be preserved and used in future frozen embryo transfer (FET) procedures. When the time is right for you – you can conceive a baby through frozen embryo transfer.

Embryo freezing technology – medically termed embryo cryopreservation – is helping today’s infertile couples conceive healthy babies.

• After fertilization, the embryos are frozen for preservation within one to six days.
• Before freezing, the embryos are mixed with a solution that prevents crystallization within the developed cells, securing preservation.
• The embryos are then placed in plastic vials and are secured in liquid nitrogen freezers.

Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET)

A couple can decide to try to conceive a baby with the frozen embryos at any time in the future – even years later. When a couple decides to try to conceive a baby, the frozen embryo transfer (FET) process takes place.

FET is the process of:

• Thawing the frozen embryos
• Bathing them in a solution to remove the anti-crystallization solution
• Transferring one or more of the embryos into a woman’s uterus or into a surrogate’s uterus
