Introduction
Cryopreservation is a groundbreaking medical technology that pauses the biological clock, allowing individuals and couples to safeguard their reproductive potential for years to come. Whether you are preserving eggs or sperm for personal life planning, preparing for cancer treatments, or banking high-quality embryos created during an IVF cycle, our specialized fertility preservation program provides total clinical confidence.
At Florentine IVF and Women Wellness Centre, we utilize world-class vitrification protocols with specialized cryoprotectants and vacuum-insulated liquid nitrogen tanks (−196°C). Supervised directly by Dr. Noopur Bajpai, our laboratory achieves post-thaw cell survival rates exceeding 90–95%.
Our Freezing Programs
1. Egg Freezing (Oocyte Vitrification): Ideal for women in their twenties and thirties who want to lock in peak egg quality before age-related ovarian decline. Following short, mild ovarian stimulation, mature eggs are retrieved under light sedation and immediately flash-frozen using vitrification. This ensures maximum egg integrity for when you are ready to start a family.
2. Semen Freezing (Sperm Cryopreservation): A quick, non-invasive method to freeze and bank healthy sperm samples. Clinically recommended for men undergoing cancer therapies, men with fluctuating or declining sperm counts (oligozoospermia), or partners who may not be present on the exact day of egg retrieval or IUI.
3. Embryo Banking: When couples create multiple healthy embryos during an IVF or ICSI cycle, surplus blastocysts are safely cryopreserved. This empowers couples to achieve second pregnancies or undertake future frozen embryo transfers (FET) without needing to undergo repeated hormonal stimulation cycles.
Who Should Consider Freezing?
- Women prioritizing higher education, career growth, or awaiting the right partner (social freezing)
- Patients newly diagnosed with cancer before commencing chemotherapy, radiation, or surgical oncology
- Couples undergoing IVF who produce multiple high-grade embryos for future siblings
- Women with a family history of early menopause (Premature Ovarian Insufficiency) or severe endometriosis
- Men facing military deployment, extensive travel, or high-risk occupational hazards
Frequently Asked Questions
Because biological activity completely halts at −196°C in liquid nitrogen, eggs, sperm, and embryos can remain cryopreserved safely for 10 years or even longer without any loss in viability or genetic integrity.
With our modern vitrification technology, post-thaw survival rates exceed 90% for eggs and 95% for blastocyst embryos, delivering pregnancy success rates equivalent to fresh cycles.
For women under 35, freezing 10 to 15 mature eggs typically offers an 80–85% cumulative chance of achieving at least one live birth in the future. Dr. Noopur will perform an individualized AMH and antral follicle scan to provide a personalized estimate.
Every sample is tagged with dual-witness barcode verification and stored in dedicated, alarmed cryogenic dewars with constant telemetry and round-the-clock physical security.
