Embryo Freezing in Hyderabad – Safe, Secure & Successful Fertility Preservation at Shubha Fertility

What is Embryo Freezing?
One technique for keeping fertilized eggs (embryos) at a below-freezing temperature for later use is embryo freezing, sometimes referred to as embryo cryopreservation. The resultant embryos are closely observed and preserved at a particular developmental stage following fertilization of the eggs during an IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) cycle. This procedure gives people or couples flexibility and control over their reproductive journey by enabling them to preserve their embryos for later use. When carried out at a licensed and state-of-the-art fertility facility, embryo freezing is a tried-and-true method of preserving fertility with high success rates.

Why Freeze Embryos?
Consider freezing embryos for a variety of societal, medical, and personal reasons. Couples undergoing IVF who wish to plan for a second child or store excess embryos for future efforts frequently choose it. Additionally, it's a good choice for patients receiving fertility-affecting medications like chemotherapy. Embryo freezing provides the assurance of maintaining fertility for people who are not prepared to create a family for personal, professional, or health-related reasons. It also lessens the financial and emotional burden of numerous IVF treatments and permits preimplantation genetic testing prior to subsequent embryo transfers.

Step-by-Step Embryo Freezing Process

1. Ovarian Stimulation & Egg Retrieval: The first step is stimulating the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. These eggs are retrieved through a minor procedure under sedation.


2. Fertilization: The retrieved eggs are fertilized with sperm in our IVF lab to create embryos.


3. Embryo Culture: Embryos are cultured and monitored in specialized incubators for several days (typically 3 to 5 days) until they reach the optimal stage for freezing.


4. Vitrification (Freezing): Using the latest vitrification technique, embryos are rapidly frozen at ultra-low temperatures to preserve their viability.


5. Cryostorage: The frozen embryos are stored in highly secure cryo-tanks under constant surveillance and regulated conditions.


6. Future Transfer: When you’re ready for pregnancy, the embryo(s) are thawed and transferred to the uterus during a Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) cycle.

How Long Can Embryos Be Stored?

Embryos may be lawfully kept in storage in India for a maximum of ten years, with the possibility of extension with patient approval. Even after 15 to 20 years, embryos have been successfully stored and used with great results, according to science. When vitrification and appropriate storage procedures are followed, storage length has no discernible impact on embryo viability, giving you flexibility in your reproductive planning.

Success Rate and Cost of Embryo Freezing

The success rate of embryo freezing depends on factors like maternal age, embryo quality, and the freezing method used. At Shubha Fertility, with the use of vitrification, over 90% of embryos survive the thawing process, and pregnancy rates with frozen embryos are comparable to, and sometimes better than, fresh transfers due to a more natural uterine environment.

The cost of embryo freezing includes the fertilization, freezing process, and annual storage fees. At Shubha Fertility, we ensure transparency in pricing and offer cost-effective packages.

FAQs

Is frozen embryo transfer as effective as fresh?
Yes, frozen embryo transfers (FET) are often as effective or even more successful than fresh transfers, especially when the uterine lining is optimally prepared. FET allows time for the body to recover after egg retrieval, resulting in better implantation outcomes.

How long can embryos be stored in India?
Embryos can be legally stored for up to 10 years in India. With patient consent and proper medical protocols, this duration can be extended depending on evolving legal and clinical guidelines.

Is embryo freezing safe for future pregnancy?
Absolutely. Embryo freezing is a scientifically validated, safe process. Babies born from frozen embryos show no increased risk of birth defects or developmental issues compared to those from fresh embryos.

What is the cost of embryo freezing and storage?
Costs can vary depending on the number of embryos, duration of storage, and individual treatment needs. At Shubha Fertility, we offer affordable, transparent packages that include the freezing process and annual storage charges.

Can I freeze embryos after IVF failure?
If embryos of good quality remain after a failed IVF cycle, they can be frozen for future use. It is essential to consult with your fertility specialist to evaluate embryo viability before freezing.
