Embryo Donation & Embryo Vitrification

The treatment for infertility like in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) includes cryopreservation or embryo freezing in Jannee Fertility Clinic. We administer Hormones into a female egg donor’s ovary to stimulate the development of a significant number of eggs during a usual IVF or ICSI treatment cycle. After retrieving the eggs from the donor, we send them to the laboratory where they are processed and fertilized. More than 50% of couples, who come to us, stand the chance to get excellent quality embryos; additionally we are able to save adequate number of eggs for use in embryo transfer. As part of our process for embryo freezing in Chandigarh, we keep the additional embryos in a frozen state for future use.

The Process Of Embryo Freezing

The utility and effectiveness of the embryo is maintained by carefully freezing it in liquid nitrogen at a very low temperature of -1960° C. This process of embryo freezing within the cell involves all activities that pause aging by freezing it for a specific time. The way to safely store embryo in liquid nitrogen for longer period can be best done in a laboratory well equipped with specialized freezing equipment and other advanced facilities. All this apparently requires a good deal of investment that can impact the cost of embryo freezing in Chandigarh but at Jannee Fertility Clinic, you can expect a rationalized cost for the embryo.

The air in the atmosphere that we breathe contains a certain amount of Nitrogen gas and this gas can turn into liquid form when cooled at -1960° C. The method of embryo preservation in Chandigarh first cools the embryo and places them in plastic straws that are thin and sealed at both ends. They are given a unique identification number along with the name of the donor which also mentioned alongside. Thereafter, they are kept in larger containers filled with liquid nitrogen after being placed in vacuum lined goblets.
