What is embryo freezing?
Embryo freezing is the safe freezing and storage of embryos created in the lab during IVF/ICSI. These embryos can be stored and used later in a planned Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) cycle—so you’re not forced to rush decisions in the same cycle.
What it gives you:
flexibility, control, and a calmer path forward—without repeating the entire stimulation process each time.
Stored with Care. Protected with Standards.
Fertility preservation can feel like a rushed decision—full of jargon, timelines, and pressure. At Mitra, we take a calmer, more honest path. One that begins with clarity, and ends with secure, high-standard storage you can trust.
Why Mitra Matters
Storage You Can Trust
Cryopreservation isn’t just freezing—it’s long-term protection. Mitra’s facility is designed for stable, controlled storage conditions, so your eggs, embryos, or sperm are preserved with the care they deserve—from day one to the day you’re ready.
Lab-to-Storage Protocols That Protect Quality
What happens between collection and storage matters. Mitra follows strict, standardized handling protocols so samples are protected during every step—collection, labeling, freezing, storage, and future use—without gaps or guesswork.
Traceability & Safety at Every Step
When you freeze something this important, confidence matters. Mitra uses clear identification and tracking systems to ensure sample traceability, secure access, and reliable documentation—so your preservation plan stays safe, organized, and stress-free.
Our goal is simple
To give you peace of mind: a facility that preserves your fertility with high standards, clear protocols, and long-term safety—so your future decisions remain in your hands.
Know more About Embryo Freezing
Why people choose embryo freezing
Embryo freezing is chosen when it supports better planning, better timing, and a calmer treatment experience.
Common reasons include:
You want to preserve embryos for future attempts without restarting from zero
You want to space out transfers and plan with comfort and readiness
You want options for a second child later
You want to protect progress when life timing shifts (travel, work, recovery)
You want a future plan that feels structured—not pressured
When embryo freezing makes sense
At Mitra, embryo freezing is offered when it provides real clinical or practical value—based on what your cycle needs.
When timing isn’t ideal for transfer — If your body needs time (recovery, lining readiness, cycle timing), freezing preserves embryos so transfer can happen in a better, planned window.
When you want multiple chances from one cycle — Freezing allows you to use embryos across future transfers without repeating stimulation each time.
When you’re planning family spacing — If you want to plan a second child later, embryo freezing keeps that option protected.
When you need a calm backup — If life, health, or emotional readiness isn’t aligned right now, freezing preserves progress while you pause without losing momentum.
What affects outcomes later
Embryo freezing supports planning—but outcomes still depend on the full fertility picture, including:
age and egg quality at the time embryos were created
embryo development quality
uterine factors and lining readiness during transfer
diagnosis factors (PCOS, endometriosis, male factor)
consistency of protocol and timing in the FET cycle
Mitra’s focus is simple: protect what you’ve created, then plan the best moment to use it.
Using frozen embryos later
When you’re ready to proceed, Mitra guides a clear, planned path:
FET cycle planning (timing + lining preparation)
Embryo thaw (lab-controlled process)
Embryo transfer (quick procedure)
follow-up and next-step clarity regardless of the result
This is where calm planning matters most—because timing and readiness are everything.

You get:
clear explanation of what embryo freezing achieves in your case
a planned decision point: transfer now vs freeze for later
lab protocols designed to protect embryo quality

Embryo Freezing
Your embryo freezing journey (step-by-step)
Embryo freezing happens within an IVF/ICSI cycle, then supports planned transfers later.
- Find the right option for me
Step 01: IVF/ICSI cycle completion
Egg retrieval and fertilization are completed, and embryos begin developing in the lab.
Step 02 :Embryo development monitoring
Embryos are observed as they develop over the next few days.
Step 03: Selection for freezing
Suitable embryos are identified for freezing based on development and lab assessment.
Step 04: Freezing and secure storage
Embryos are frozen and stored under controlled cryogenic conditions with strict traceability.
Step 05: Planned future transfer (FET)
When you’re ready, Mitra plans a transfer cycle based on uterine readiness and timing—without rushing.

What Mitra can freeze and store
We help you choose what to preserve based on your situation:
Egg freezing (Oocyte Cryopreservation)
Best when you want to preserve fertility before egg quality declines or before a medical treatment that may affect ovaries.
Embryo freezing (Embryo Cryopreservation)
Often chosen during IVF/ICSI cycles to preserve embryos for future transfer, planning a second child, or spacing attempts with less physical strain.
Sperm freezing (Semen Cryopreservation)
Useful when sperm availability may change (travel, surgery, medical treatment) or when you want to preserve a sample for future IVF/ICSI or IUI pathways.
When cryopreservation makes sense
Fertility preservation planning
You want to preserve eggs/embryos earlier for future family plans
You’re delaying pregnancy for personal, career, or timing reasons
You’re concerned about age-related egg quality changes
You want options for a second child later
Medical and treatment-related reasons
Before cancer treatments (chemotherapy/radiation) or major surgeries
Before ovarian cyst surgery, endometriosis surgery, or treatments that may affect ovarian reserve
Before vasectomy or medical treatment affecting sperm quality
If you have conditions that may impact fertility over time (case-based)
During IVF/ICSI
You’re planning a “freeze and transfer later” approach
You want to preserve embryos for future attempts
You’re spacing out transfers for health, recovery, or uterine readiness
You’re planning genetic testing and need embryo freezing as part of the workflow
When you need a calm backup
It preserves your fertility window while you focus on health, recovery, life changes, or emotional readiness.
It gives you breathing room to plan without pressure, knowing your next step is protected.
It keeps future treatment options open—so when you’re ready, you can move forward with confidence and clarity.
Take the step that brings clarity to your journey.

Questions you might be afraid to ask (but should).
Does embryo freezing guarantee pregnancy later?
It preserves options and protects progress, but outcomes still depend on embryo quality and uterine readiness at transfer.
Can frozen embryos be used years later?
Yes—storage is designed for long-term preservation. Mitra will document storage terms and renewal timelines clearly.
Do I have to transfer in the same IVF cycle?
Not always. Freezing allows you to plan transfer later when timing is better.
Can embryo freezing help with family planning for a second child?
Yes. Many families use embryo freezing to plan future pregnancies with less physical strain.
What happens if we decide not to use stored embryos?
Mitra explains all options clearly as part of consent and documentation—so you’re never unsure later.
