Freezing

Freezing Services in Gujarat | Female First Hospital

At Female First Hospital, we offer advanced cryopreservation and vitrification techniques to preserve fertility options for the future. Using state-of-the-art technology, we store sperm, embryos, and oocytes at -196°C in liquid nitrogen, ensuring long-term viability.

What Can Be Frozen?

• Embryos
• Semen (Sperm)
• Oocytes (Eggs)

Embryo Freezing & Vitrification
After IVF, if surplus embryos remain, they can be frozen for future use. Embryos can be preserved at any stage from day 1 (one-cell) to blastocyst stage (day 5–6).

Why freeze embryos?

• Reduces risk of multiple pregnancies
• Allows future transfer without repeating stimulation
• Cost-effective for subsequent cycles

We use vitrification, a rapid freezing technique that minimizes damage and improves survival rates compared to older slow-freezing methods.

Semen Freezing
Ideal for:

• Men undergoing cancer treatment
• Those facing surgeries or conditions affecting fertility
• Couples planning IVF cycles

Frozen sperm can be stored for years without increased risk of birth defects. Success rates with cryopreserved semen range from 40–50%.

Egg (Oocyte) Freezing
A breakthrough for women who want to preserve fertility due to:

• Advancing age
• Medical treatments (chemotherapy, radiation)
• Personal choice

Best Candidates:

• Under 35 years with good ovarian reserve
• Women planning pregnancy later or facing fertility risks
