Embryo Freezing
Embryo freezing, also known as cryopreservation, is a revolutionary technique that allows embryos to be preserved for future use. This process offers hope and flexibility for individuals and couples who are planning their families but are not yet ready to conceive, or for those undergoing fertility treatments such as IVF.
Embryo freezing is a scientific process where embryos are preserved at sub-zero temperatures. Using a method known as Vitrification, embryos are frozen rapidly to prevent ice crystal formation, which could damage them.
This technique ensures the embryos remain viable for future use.
