FREEZING AND PRESERVATION

Embryo freezing

Freezing embryos involves performing in vitro fertilization (IVF) in the laboratory by combining the retrieved eggs with a semen sample. This technique allows for the preservation of embryos until desired and provides the opportunity to assess their genetic viability before freezing.

What are the benefits of freezing embryos?

Fertility Clinic - Freezing

STOPPING TIME

Similar to egg freezing, embryo freezing offers the opportunity to preserve the quality of your eggs and fertility. The key distinction is that in embryo freezing, the eggs have already been fertilized, and the resulting embryos are frozen for future use.

Probability of pregnancy success

ENHANCED TRANSPARENCY AND QUALITY

With embryo freezing, the embryos have already passed through crucial stages, including fertilization, which serve as indicators of their quality. Compared to freezing eggs, this process offers greater transparency into the likelihood of successful conception when the time is right.

Genetic Test

GENETIC TESTING

Embryo freezing offers the advantage of performing genetic compatibility testing, which helps reduce the likelihood of high-risk pregnancies and congenital diseases. We can select embryos with a lower risk of genetic disorders, providing the opportunity for a healthier pregnancy.

The process for embryo freezing

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.

01

Assessment

Start your egg freezing journey with a consultation where your physician will conduct blood tests, sperm studies, and physical exams. Over the following month, a customized treatment plan will be designed based on the results.

02

Ovarian stimulation

The next step is to stimulate your ovaries to produce a greater number of eggs by self-administering hormone injections. Regular monitoring through blood tests and ultrasounds will help adjust the dosage if necessary. Once the eggs reach full maturity, an injection will trigger ovulation or egg release.

03

Egg retrieval

Approximately 35 hours after the trigger injection, you will undergo a minor surgical procedure to retrieve the eggs. Using a small needle passed through the vaginal wall into the follicles, the eggs will be collected. With local anesthesia, you can return to your normal activities within 24 to 48 hours. On the day of retrieval, we will also collect a sperm sample from your partner, or alternatively, a sperm donor can be used.

04

Fertilization

Our skilled embryologists assess the sperm and egg samples for fertilization. In certain cases, Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) may be employed, where a single healthy sperm is directly injected into the egg. The resulting embryos are then cultured in incubators for 3 to 5 days before being frozen.

05

Genetic testing (optional & at an additional cost)

Prior to freezing, optional Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) can be conducted on the embryos. This highly recommended test screens the embryos for over 400 genetic abnormalities, particularly useful for individuals with a history of genetic conditions. Healthy embryos that pass the genetic test will be selected for freezing.

06

Freezing

Following their growth in incubators, the embryos undergo rapid freezing through vitrification. To ensure optimal preservation, they are stored in liquid nitrogen tanks at our clinic until you are ready to conceive. You will be provided with precise information regarding the number of healthy embryos successfully frozen during the process.

01

Assessment

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

02

Ovarian stimulation

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.

03

Egg retrieval

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.

04

Fertilization

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.

05

Genetic testing (optional and at additional cost)

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.

06

Freezing

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.

Frequently asked questions

The first step to begin your embryo freezing journey is a consultation with one of our specialists. During this consultation, we will work together to assess the best option for you and address any questions you may have. Feel free to take this step whenever you're ready. After the initial consultation, the start of the treatment will depend on several factors, including blood tests and their results. Once all the necessary preparations are complete, your embryo freezing treatment will start on the second day of your menstrual cycle.

Broadly speaking, good-quality eggs and sperm are essential. However, specific requirements may vary depending on each couple or egg/sperm donor. Schedule an appointment here, and we will discuss the details with you.

You can keep your frozen embryos for as long as you want. Our storage price is $5,000 MX per year.

Not at all! The freezing process can be done regardless of whether or not you have an Intrauterine device (IUD).

A genetic test (PGT) assesses the compatibility of the sperm with the egg, allowing us to avoid congenital diseases and other types of pathologies.
