Fertility preservation involves collecting and freezing reproductive cells or embryos before they may be affected by age, medical treatment, or other factors that can reduce fertility.
Depending on your individual circumstances, fertility preservation may involve:
Once frozen, eggs, sperm, or embryos are carefully stored under controlled laboratory conditions until they are needed for future fertility treatment.
For many patients, fertility preservation offers reassurance that they have preserved reproductive options, even if pregnancy is postponed for several years.
Fertility preservation may be appropriate for individuals who wish to protect their future reproductive potential before circumstances change.
Your fertility specialist may recommend fertility preservation if you:
A comprehensive fertility assessment helps determine which preservation option is most appropriate for your current health and future family plans.
Nordica Fertility Centre offers several fertility preservation options designed to meet different reproductive needs.
Egg freezing allows women to preserve unfertilised eggs for future fertility treatment.
After ovarian stimulation, mature eggs are collected and frozen using advanced cryopreservation techniques. Freezing eggs at a younger age may help preserve better egg quality before the natural decline associated with ageing.
When the patient is ready to pursue pregnancy, the eggs can be thawed, fertilised in the laboratory, and used during an In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) cycle.
Sperm freezing involves collecting and preserving sperm for future reproductive use.
Frozen sperm may later be used for fertility treatments such as Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), IVF, Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), or donor sperm programmes where appropriate.
This option is commonly recommended before medical treatments that may affect sperm production or prior to procedures such as vasectomy.
Embryo freezing allows embryos created during an IVF or ICSI cycle to be preserved for future treatment.
Cryopreserved embryos may be transferred during a later frozen embryo transfer cycle without requiring another round of ovarian stimulation or egg retrieval. This can reduce both the physical demands and financial costs associated with additional IVF cycles.
The preservation process varies depending on whether eggs, sperm, or embryos are being stored.
Following a fertility consultation and appropriate investigations, your fertility specialist develops a personalised treatment plan.
For women choosing egg freezing, fertility medications are used to stimulate the ovaries before mature eggs are collected and cryopreserved.
For sperm freezing, a semen sample is collected, carefully analysed, and frozen under controlled laboratory conditions.
For embryo freezing, eggs are fertilised using IVF or ICSI before embryos are cultured in the laboratory and frozen for future transfer. Depending on the treatment plan, advanced laboratory technologies such as PICSI, IMSI, EmbryoGlue, or Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) may also be incorporated before embryo cryopreservation when clinically appropriate.
All frozen reproductive material is securely stored using specialised cryogenic systems designed to maintain long-term viability until treatment is required.
Nordica Fertility Centre combines advanced reproductive technology with personalised fertility care to help patients protect their future reproductive options.
Our experienced fertility specialists carefully assess each patient’s medical history, age, reproductive goals, and future treatment plans before recommending the most suitable fertility preservation strategy. Using modern cryopreservation technology and internationally recognised laboratory protocols, we strive to maintain high standards of sample preservation and post-thaw viability.

No. The embryo transfer procedure remains the same. The only difference is that the embryo is briefly placed in the EmbryoGlue medium before transfer into the uterus.
