Introduction: Preserving Fertility for the Future
As more people choose to delay parenthood—whether for career growth, education, health, or timing—cryopreservation (egg and sperm freezing) offers empowering fertility preservation. By freezing gametes at a younger biological age, you can help safeguard your future fertility. At Trinity IVF, we provide safe, advanced, and compassionate fertility preservation services.
❄️ What Is Cryopreservation?
Cryopreservation is the process of flash-freezing eggs, sperm, or embryos at ultra-low temperatures (–196 °C), storing them in liquid nitrogen to keep them viable for years without degradation.
🧬 Why Freeze Eggs or Sperm?
✅ Common Reasons to Consider:
- Delaying parenthood due to career, studies, or personal timing
- Medical treatments like chemotherapy or surgeries that threaten fertility
- Low ovarian reserve or declining sperm quality
- Personal choice to keep future family options open
- Gender-affirming treatments: secure fertility before hormones or surgery
At Trinity IVF, we support every personal choice with expert consultation and personalized care.
👩⚕️ Egg Freezing Explained
Egg quality and quantity decrease over time, especially after age 35. Freezing in your 20s or early 30s offers higher success—but freezing up to age 38 still yields meaningful outcomes.
Egg Freezing Process:
- Ovarian stimulation: Hormone injections for 10–12 days
- Egg retrieval: Minor procedure under light sedation
- Vitrification: Rapid flash-freezing of mature eggs for storage
Later, these eggs can be thawed, fertilized via IVF, and transferred when you’re ready.
🧔 Sperm Freezing Made Simple
Sperm freezing is quick, non-invasive, and highly effective:
- Men provide a semen sample
- It’s analyzed, frozen, and stored in liquid nitrogen
Ideal for those undergoing vasectomy, cancer treatment, testosterone therapy, or wanting to secure future fertility.
Our cryolab guarantees high standards of safety and quality.
