What Is Embryo Freezing?

Embryo freezing is an assisted reproduction technique that preserves embryos at their optimal stage of development when they are not transferred during an IVF cycle.

Their biological activity is safely paused, allowing them to be used in future fertility treatments.

How Is Embryo Freezing
Done at HOPE IVF

Thanks to vitrification, an ultra-rapid freezing technique that prevents ice crystal formation and protects embryo structure. We achieve survival rates of up to 99%, compared to just 55% with traditional freezing methods

We’re Here to Answer All Your Questions
About Embryo Freezing

At HOPE IVF, embryos can remain safely frozen for many years without losing viability, thanks to our strictly controlled storage conditions.

No. Medical evidence shows that frozen embryos maintain success rates comparable to fresh embryos when used in IVF treatments.

Embryo freezing is recommended when more embryos are created than needed for the initial transfer during IVF, or when preserving fertility for future attempts.

Embryo freezing is performed after the egg has been fertilized with sperm, while egg freezing preserves unfertilized female reproductive cells.

There is no fixed number — it depends on the quantity and quality of embryos obtained during IVF, as well as the family-building goals of each patient. At HOPE IVF, we encourage freezing only the number of embryos that could reasonably result in the family you are planning, ensuring that every step aligns with your wishes and values.

Yes. It is a safe procedure, widely used in reproductive medicine and supported by studies demonstrating the long-term stability and viability of embryos.
