The most common method for freezing embryos is known as vitrification. The water inside the cell is replaced with cryoprotectant substances during this process. It is then followed by rapid cooling, which prevents ice crystals from forming inside the cells and thus increases embryo survival during the thawing process. Embryos are then placed in plastic straws with the patient’s name and identification number written on them. Embryos can be frozen for many years in tanks filled with liquid nitrogen using this method.

TESE, or Testicular Sperm Extraction, is a procedure that collects sperm directly from the testicles. In men, this surgical sperm retrieval procedure is used: - If their testicles aren’t producing enough sperm, Azoospermia without obstruction. - If the sperms are prevented from passing to the sperm due to some obstruction, Azoospermia Obstructive

TESA is a procedure performed for men who are having sperm retrieved for IVF/ICSI. It is performed under local anesthetic in the operating room or office, and it is timed to coincide with the egg retrieval of their female spouse.

Egg freezing, also known as mature oocyte cryopreservation, is a method used to save women’s ability to get pregnant in the future. Eggs harvested from your ovaries are frozen unfertilized and stored for later use. A frozen egg can be thawed, combined with sperm in a lab and implanted in your uterus. Sperm freezing is the process of collecting, analyzing, freezing and storing a man’s sperm. The samples are later used for fertility treatments or donated to other couples or individuals. This overall process is known as cryopreservation and is sometimes referred to as sperm banking.
