Multiple use of frozen embryos of IVF

IVF technology means that the fertilized eggs are cultured in vitro and transferred to the mother body after the embryo has developed to a certain extent, so as to assist the infertile patients to achieve their reproductive goals. In IVF technology, frozen embryo is one of the common auxiliary technologies. So, can frozen embryos be used many times? Are there any other assistive technologies? Next, we will elaborate on these issues from different aspects.

Multiple use of frozen embryos

Frozen embryo refers to keeping the surplus fertilized eggs at low temperature for at least one year after in vitro fertilization. According to the actual needs, these frozen embryos can be thawed and retransmitted to the mother at a certain point in the future. Generally speaking, frozen embryos can be used many times, but the success rate of each thawing and transfer will be reduced. Whether frozen embryos can be successfully transferred depends on the technology of freezing and thawing process, as well as the quality and preservation time of embryos themselves.

Under the current technical conditions, frozen embryos can generally be stored for 5-10 years, and some countries even allow a storage period of up to 20 years. In the process of multiple use of frozen embryos, there are not only requirements for embryo quality, but also factors such as patient age, health status and so on. At present, the use rate of frozen embryos is gradually increasing, which is regarded as a reliable alternative scheme to help infertile patients achieve their reproductive aspirations.

Auxiliary technology of IVF

In addition to frozen embryo technology, IVF has other auxiliary technologies to choose from. The following are some common auxiliary technologies:

Embryonic Chromosome Screening

Embryonic chromosome screening technology can screen embryos suffering from genetic diseases or chromosomal abnormalities by detecting the number and structure of embryonic chromosomes. This technology can help patients increase the probability of normal embryos, reduce the risk of transmission of genetic diseases, and improve the success rate of IVF.

Ovarian stimulation technology

Ovarian stimulation technology refers to the stimulation of ovarian ovulation through oral or injection of drugs to increase the quantity and quality of eggs. This can improve the success rate of IVF and increase the choice of multiple embryos.

Embryo culture technology

Embryo culture technology refers to the culture of fertilized eggs in vitro to promote the development of embryos and select the most promising embryos. This technology can improve the success rate of IVF and reduce the risk of multiple pregnancy.

summary

Through frozen embryo technology, IVF embryos can be used for many times, providing more opportunities for infertile patients to achieve their reproductive aspirations. In addition to frozen embryo technology, IVF has other auxiliary technologies, such as embryo chromosome screening, ovarian stimulation technology and embryo culture technology. The continuous development and application of these technologies provide more options and hope for infertile patients.
