Embryos and egg storage.

The Family Clinic offers long-term storage for embryos and eggs . An embryo is defined as an egg that has been fertilized with sperm, becoming a multicellular organism. Once the embryo has matured to a certain level it can be cryopreserved (frozen) and stored at sub-zero temperatures for future use. Oocyte Cryopreservation - Oocyte (egg) freezing is the cryopreservation (freezing) of female eggs that have been retrieved directly from a woman's ovaries. Frozen embryos and eggs can be thawed years later and used in fertility treatments such as IVF.
