Freezing of eggs, sperm, embryos

Cryopreservation is a revolutionary method that allows individuals to preserve their fertility for future use. The process involves freezing and storing eggs, sperm, or embryos at extremely low temperatures, maintaining their biological integrity and viability for an extended period.

Who Can Benefit from Cryopreservation?

  • Women Wishing to Delay Motherhood:
    Egg freezing enables women to preserve their fertility at a younger age, ensuring higher chances of success in the future.
  • Patients Undergoing Cancer Treatment:
    Chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or other medical treatments can impact fertility. Cryopreservation of eggs, sperm, or embryos before treatment is a safe option.
  • Couples Undergoing Assisted Reproductive Treatments:
    Excess embryos from IVF cycles can be frozen for future use.
  • Men Seeking to Preserve Fertility:
    In cases of medical conditions or planned surgeries affecting fertility, sperm freezing provides a viable solution.

How Does Cryopreservation Work?

  1. Egg Freezing:
    Eggs are retrieved from the ovaries after a stimulation process and frozen in liquid nitrogen. This is performed using vitrification, a method that minimizes crystal formation and preserves egg quality.
  2. Sperm Freezing:
    Sperm is collected, processed in the laboratory to select the healthiest sperm cells, and frozen in specialized liquid nitrogen containers.
  3. Embryo Freezing:
    After eggs are fertilized with sperm, embryos are cultured in the laboratory for 3-5 days. The most viable embryos are then frozen for future transfer.

Benefits of Cryopreservation

  • Fertility Preservation: Offers men, women, and couples the opportunity to have children in the future despite current circumstances.
  • Flexibility in Timing: Allows for family planning without the limitations of age or medical conditions.
  • Improved Pregnancy Success Rates: Eggs and embryos frozen at a younger age have higher quality and success potential.
  • Cost-Effectiveness: In IVF treatments, freezing surplus embryos reduces the need for repeated cycles.

Potential Challenges

  • Freezing Quality: Success depends on the precision of the freezing and storage process.
  • Emotional Considerations: Waiting to use the frozen material can create anxiety for some patients.
  • Storage Duration: Legal regulations may impose time limits on the use of frozen material.
