Embryos are frozen in the lab inside nitrogen cylinders. They can be safely preserved for years together, however ensure that you have a fertility plan and have discussed the options for future fertility.
With advanced technology, gametes survive the freezing and thawing very well. The chances of conception depends upon the age when the gametes were frozen. As previously explained, as one ages, the chances of pregnancy declines usually due to the decline in quality of gametes. But say if you froze your egg/embryos when you were 30, then chances of conception are very good even at 40. Thus, it is imperative that you freeze your fertility as soon as you know.
Delay your parenthood on your own terms.
The process is called frozen embryo transfer, or FET. To prepare for the embryo implantation, the prospective mother may receive estrogen pills or injections to build up the lining of the uterus, and then progesterone treatment to make the uterus receptive to the embryo. Alternatively, in a “natural” FET cycle, a patient is monitored until ovulation occurs and the embryo is transferred into the uterus approximately five days after ovulation.
When the uterus is ready, the doctor inserts a catheter into the vagina, through the cervix (the opening of the uterus) and into the uterus, and carefully injects one or more thawed embryos, along with a small amount of fluid, into the uterus using a syringe. Afterward, the embryologist carefully examines the catheter under a microscope to ensure the embryo is no longer inside the device. About 14 days after the embryo transfer, a blood pregnancy test can confirm if the procedure was successful.
