The Details

Embryo banking, also known as embryo cryopreservation, involves freezing and storing embryos for future use. This process allows individuals and couples to preserve their fertility, providing flexibility in family planning and the opportunity to conceive at a later date.

How Does Embryo Banking Work?

Embryo banking begins with in vitro fertilization (IVF), where eggs are retrieved and fertilized to create embryos. These embryos are then cultured to the blastocyst stage and frozen using vitrification, an advanced freezing technique that ensures high survival rates upon thawing.

Who is Embryo Banking For?

Embryo banking is suitable for:

  • Individuals or couples wishing to delay pregnancy for personal, medical, or professional reasons.
  • Patients undergoing medical treatments that may affect fertility, such as chemotherapy.
  • Those seeking to minimize the number of ovarian stimulation cycles by creating and storing multiple embryos from a single cycle.
