Cryopreservation of Embryos

Cryopreservation of embryos is a process used to freeze and store embryos at very low temperatures, typically using liquid nitrogen. This technology helps preserve embryos created through in vitro fertilization (IVF) for future use. By freezing embryos, individuals or couples can delay pregnancy or reduce the number of embryos used in a single treatment cycle. The freezing process halts all biological activity, keeping embryos viable for years. When needed, the embryos can be thawed and implanted in the uterus, offering flexibility and potential for successful pregnancies later on.
