Individual couples who aspire to become parents have individual needs. While managing the finances may not be difficult for some, it can definitely be a hindrance for many others. Embryo freezing cost can range vastly based on various things such as time duration for which the embryo will be preserved, the number of embryos preserved and, other consultation charges. Nevertheless, the joy that a child brings is priceless and definitely outweighs any embryo freezing cost or other ART costs that you might incur in the process.

How Does the Cryopreservation Procedure Take Place?

In the cryopreservation technique, expert embryologists begin with adding a liquid known as cryoprotective agent (CPA) to the embryo which prevents formation of ice crystals inside the cells that can potentially damage the embryo. The next step in the process of cryopreservation involves adding the embryo into tanks containing liquid nitrogen which freezes the embryo at -196.1 degree celsius. However, some experts may opt for an alternative in which the cryoprotective agent is added in smaller doses to the embryo, which, in turn, is then slowly cooled down for about two hours before finally being added to the liquid nitrogen tank.
