Egg / Sperm / Embryo Freezing

Egg / Sperm / Embryo Freezing

Overview

Egg/sperm/ embryo freezing is the method of assisted reproductive technology (ART). These freezing methods are used to preserve fertility. Egg freezing is the process of removing eggs from the ovaries of females and preserving them in a liquid nitrogen tank. The eggs can then be liquefied and fertilized with sperm to create an embryo, which then can be implanted in the uterus to achieve pregnancy. This process is also known as Oocyte Cryopreservation.

Sperm freezing is the process of collecting and freezing sperm in a liquid nitrogen tank. The sperm is then injected directly into her uterus (IUI) or fertilization by the eggs of a woman in vitro (IVF).

Embryo freezing is the process of freezing fertilized eggs & sperm. The embryo can then be thawed and implanted back into the woman's uterus to achieve pregnancy.

Freezing of eggs, sperm, or embryos is the best option for people who want to preserve their fertility because of medical or personal reasons. Here are some of the reasons why people might choose eggs, sperm,or embryo freezing:

  • To delay pregnancy: Many people want to delay pregnancy because of personal, professional, or medical reasons. Freezing their eggs, sperm, or embryos gives them the option to have their biological children later in life when they are ready.

  • To preserve their fertility due to medical conditions: Because of some health issues, some people choose to freeze their eggs, sperm, or embryos as they don't want the medical issue to affect their fertility. Eg. Cancer treatment may damage the ovaries or testicles. So, usually, the people undergoing cancer treatment, choose to freeze their eggs, sperm, or embryos to preserve their fertility and have children in the future.

  • To increase the chances of success with IVF: In-vitro fertilization (IVF) is a procedure that is beneficial for people who are unable to conceive naturally. Because Freezing of eggs, sperm, or embryos gives the doctors more embryos to work with. So it increases the rate of success with IVF.

  • To have a genetic child: Freezing eggs/sperm or embryos helps persons who are single or in a relationship with the same sex to have a genetic child. By the process of in-vitro gamete intrafallopian transfer(GIFT), the eggs and sperm are directly transferred into the Fallopian tubes.

Here is a step-by-step process of freezing of embryo, egg, and sperm:

Freezing Egg Process

  • The ovaries are stimulated to produce multiple eggs by giving fertility medications. 

  • Once the eggs are mature, by inserting a needle into the vagina, they are retrieved from the ovaries.

  • With the help of a rapid freezing method called vitrification, the eggs are then frozen. 

  • The frozen eggs are then stored in a liquid nitrogen tank.

Freezing Sperm Process

  • Compared to egg freezing, Sperm freezing is a very simple procedure.

  • The sperm is collected from the man.

  • Once the sperm is collected it then freezes using a process called cryopreservation. 

  • The frozen sperm is then stored in a liquid nitrogen tank.

Freezing Embryos Process

  • Embryo freezing is usually performed after in vitro fertilization (IVF). 

  • During the IVF process, the eggs of a female are fertilized with sperm in a laboratory. 

  • The resulting embryos are then transferred to the uterus of the female but not all the embryos are transferred at once. Some embryos can be frozen for future use.

It is important to note that, frozen eggs, sperm, or embryos can be stored, thawed, and used to achieve pregnancy in the future. To know about the egg, sperm, embryo freezing success rate; cost of freezing embryos, and egg and sperm process, contact the best fertility specialist in Gurgaon.
