EMBRYO CRYOPRESERVATION VITRIFICATION

We use a technique called ‘vitrification’ to rapidly freeze any good quality blastocysts which remain after your embryo transfer procedure. Any embryo which has the capacity to form a good quality blastocyst certainly has the potential to form a pregnancy. This rapid freezing process is probably the most effective method of successfully freezing blastocysts.

During future IVF treatments, we can thaw your frozen blastocysts out, one at a time and transfer them back to you. Freezing and thawing of embryos allows us to extend the number of chances you have to become pregnant from one egg collection procedure.We have a state-of-the-art cryo-storage facility on site. Embryos are stored at very low temperatures (-196°C) using liquid nitrogen or its vapour.
