Frozen Embryo

Frozen embryos are good-quality embryos that have been preserved for potential future use. Because of the cumulative nature of pregnancy, multiple embryos are often created during an in vitro fertilization cycle to increase the chances of achieving pregnancy. Any embryos that are not directly transferred to a uterus can be cryopreserved for future pregnancy attempts.

Additionally, embryos can be frozen for many different reasons including not being ready to have children or the discovery of a medical condition that will negatively impact fertility.
