FREEZING EMBRYOS: A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE TURNING FOR THIS OPTION
So Parenting|September 2022
Aging makes conceiving difficult, adding to that the biological clock slows down and reproductive issues like infertility and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome/Disorder (PCOS) make pregnancy more tough, expensive, and painful.
FREEZING EMBRYOS: A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE TURNING FOR THIS OPTION

Freezing embryos or eggs is in a way stopping your biological clock; it involves freezing healthy eggs at a younger age for the future.

Freezing embryos or oocyte cryopreservation is a process in which women are given hormone injections to stimulate their ovaries which results in the production of multiple eggs, then these eggs are recovered from the ovary and quickly frozen and stored in a storage cell containing liquid hydrogen for a future date. Many women choose to donate their eggs, these eggs help in assisted reproduction; this process is known as frozen embryo transfer (FET). In FET, the frozen embryos from either the last or fresh IVF or the donated egg are thawed and transferred into the woman's uterus.

Why do people freeze embryos?

IVF or In Vitro Fertilization can be taxing not only emotionally and physically but financially as well. Many couples want many children and freeze the embryos to plan a family in the future. This helps them avoid the whole process of IVF again.
