Embryo Freezing in Indore and Frozen Embryo Transfer
Embryo freezing saves extra IVF embryos for later and allows safer frozen embryo transfer. Learn about vitrification, survival, FET steps, storage and consent.
Embryo freezing (embryo cryopreservation) lets couples store good-quality embryos from an IVF cycle for future use. Modern vitrification has made frozen embryo transfer (FET) a routine and safe part of IVF. At Asian Navkar Hospital, Indore, our embryology laboratory vitrifies embryos at the cleavage or blastocyst stage and stores them under strict identification and consent protocols.
Why Freeze Embryos?
- To use extra good-quality embryos later without another egg collection
- To avoid fresh transfer when there is a risk of OHSS
- When the uterine lining or hormone levels are not ideal in the stimulation cycle
- While waiting for PGT results
- For fertility preservation in couples
Frozen Embryo Transfer Step by Step
- The uterus is prepared either in a natural cycle (tracking ovulation) or with oestrogen and progesterone medicines.
- Ultrasound confirms a good lining.
- The embryo is thawed on the day of transfer; most vitrified blastocysts survive.
- Transfer is done with a soft catheter, without anaesthesia.
- A pregnancy blood test follows about 9–12 days later.
Storage, Consent and Costs
Storage is in liquid nitrogen tanks with continuous monitoring. Both partners sign consent regarding storage duration and what happens to embryos in situations such as separation or death, as required under the ART (Regulation) Act, 2021. Annual storage charges apply.
