Embryo Banking at New Hope Clinic

Embryo Banking

During many IVF cycles, women will have excess embryos that are not transferred into the uterus. We can freeze these embryos in an Embryo Bank which can eliminate the need for egg retrievals during any future cycles.

Alternatively, the frozen embryos can remain in your Embryo Bank and be used when you are ready to welcome another baby into your family. This is especially beneficial for women older than 35 whose egg quality will begin a rapid decline, potentially preventing them from becoming pregnant again naturally.

Freezing and banking embryos is also a good strategy for couples not yet ready for parenthood. This avoids patients encountering an aged egg or an older sperm when they are ready for IVF later in life.
