To freeze embryos, it is necessary to perform an in vitro fertilization in the laboratory with the captured eggs and a semen sample. This technique allows embryos to be preserved until you want and makes it possible to know the genetic viability of the embryos.
Like egg freezing, embryo freezing makes it possible to take advantage of the quality of a person’s eggs and fertility. The main difference is that already fertilized eggs are vitrified in embryo freezing.
Eggs have to go through several hurdles (including fertilization) that prove their quality to generate embryos. This makes embryo freezing a safer bet for future conception.
With embryo freezing, you can perform genetic compatibility testing to reduce the likelihood of high-risk pregnancies and congenital diseases.
Here is a start-to-finish guide for your embryo freezing journey. This is a general roadmap, and our experts will analyze your case and draw up a customized plan of action with you.
The first step in freezing your eggs is a consultation with your physician. We will do blood, sperm studies and physical exams during the following month to design your customized treatment plan with you
The next step is to stimulate your ovaries to produce as many eggs as possible. You will give yourself hormone injections to stimulate egg production. You will have to be constantly monitored with regular blood tests and ultrasounds during this process. This way, we can see if your dose needs to be adjusted. Once your eggs have fully matured, an injection will be given that will trigger ovulation or egg release.
Approximately 35 hours after the shot, you will have minor surgery to retrieve your eggs. Your doctor will pass a small needle through your vaginal wall into the follicles. You will receive local anesthesia, and you will be able to return to your normal activities 24 to 48 hours after the egg retrieval. On the day of the retrieval, the couple leaves a sperm sample.
Our embryologists evaluate the sperm and egg sample for fertilization. In some cases, a process called ICSI will be used in which the embryologist will inject a single healthy sperm into the egg. The embryos grow inside an incubator for 3 to 5 days before being frozen.
Before freezing, a PGT genetic test can be performed on the embryos. We strongly recommend that individuals with a history of genetic conditions request these tests, in which embryos will be scanned for over 400 genetic abnormalities. Healthy embryos that successfully pass the genetic test will be frozen.
After their growth in the incubators, the embryos will be quickly frozen through vitrification. To preserve them in the best conditions, we will keep them at the clinic in liquid nitrogen tanks until you want to conceive. We will tell you exactly how many healthy embryos were frozen.

Consultation with a medical specialist focused on a fertility plan.
Includes:
The ovaries are stimulated to develop mature eggs. These are captured in a simple procedure; with a semen sample, the eggs are fertilized in the laboratory. Healthy, genetically viable embryos are frozen for future use.
It includes:
* 3- and 6-months interest-free payment facilities
** Medications are not included
The first step to starting your journey is scheduling an appointment with one of our specialized doctors in fertility treatments.
