Embryo cryopreservation is the freezing and long-term storage of embryos for future use. Modern vitrification — an ultra-rapid freezing technique — allows embryos to be stored safely with high survival rates after thawing. Frozen embryos can later be transferred in a Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) cycle, providing flexibility and additional opportunities from a single IVF cycle.
Important Information
- Vitrification offers post-thaw survival rates of 95% or higher for good-quality embryos.
- Cryopreservation is used for surplus embryos from a fresh cycle, fertility preservation, or strategic deferral of transfer.
- In Turkey, embryos may be stored for up to 5 years, with extension possible through legally defined procedures.
- Modern data show that FET success rates are comparable to — and in some studies higher than — fresh transfer outcomes.
Our Approach
Dr. Muzaffer values cryopreservation as a tool to give patients more chances per cycle and to time embryo transfer for the optimal endometrial environment.
