What is Cryopreservation?
Cryopreservation is a technique used to preserve biological material at extremely low temperatures, typically below -130°C, halting all biological activity and preserving the specimen in a suspended state.
What are the steps of Cryopreservation?
Why Should One Consider Cryopreservation in IVF?
Preserving Fertility:
Cryopreservation allows individuals to preserve their fertility potential, especially important for those undergoing medical treatments like chemotherapy that may affect fertility.
Optimizing IVF Success:
By freezing and storing multiple embryos or eggs, IVF success rates can improve. Cryopreserved embryos offer flexibility in timing for embryo transfer, allowing for optimal conditions in the uterus.
Minimizing Risks:
Cryopreservation reduces the need for multiple ovarian stimulation cycles, lowering the risks associated with hormonal treatments and egg retrieval procedures.
Family Planning:
Cryopreserved embryos or eggs offer options for family planning, allowing individuals to delay parenthood until they are ready or to have children later in life.
