What is Embryo Freezing?

The procedure of freezing fertilised eggs (embryos) for a future pregnancy is called embryo freezing, or embryo cryopreservation. This technique is often used by women who choose to postpone pregnancy for personal or health reasons, or by couples undergoing IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation) who wish to preserve their embryos for further attempts.

Several people and couples think about preserving embryos for various reasons, including career goals or professional obligations. Additionally, people facing long-term illnesses, like cancer that necessitates chemotherapy and radiation therapy, which may affect their ability to conceive, opt for embryo freezing too.

    How much does it cost to freeze embryos?

    The embryo freezing cost in Delhi depends on the following factors.

    1. Clinic Location & Expertise
    The cost varies according to the clinic’s repute, location, laboratory infrastructure, and specialist experience.

    2. Initial Consultation and Diagnostic Tests
    AMH and FSH, two diagnostic tests that evaluate a woman’s ovarian reserve and reproductive health, may increase the package’s overall cost.

    3. Additional Expenses
    Some additional expenses, including egg thawing and fertilization through IVF or ICSI, embryo transfer, etc, may increase the entire amount.

    4. Number of Cycles
    Younger women who produce better-quality eggs might have a better chance of succeeding and might not need the extra cycles. Every additional cycle will increase the overall cost.

    5. Egg Retrieval Procedure
    The anesthesia cost, lab processing fees, hospital stays, and egg retrieval are all included in this minimally invasive surgical procedure that is done under sedation.

    6. Egg Freezing Technique
    Cryopreservation method requires modern and specialized equipment and skilled expertise

    7. Storage Fees and Duration
    The price may differ based on the clinic’s location and laboratory conditions because the frozen eggs are kept in liquid nitrogen tanks at temperatures below zero. Also, the number of years for which the embryos are stored affects the entire package cost.

    Is Embryo Freezing Covered in Insurance?

    Health insurance companies usually do not pay the cost of embryo freezing because it is an elective operation.  If embryo freezing is recommended because of a significant medical condition, such as for patients undergoing cancer therapy, some insurance may, nonetheless, provide limited reimbursement. Therefore, it is advised that you confirm the peculiarities of your coverage with your insurance company before moving forward.

Whereas, for women who wish to maintain their fertility for future use due to career planning, medical reasons, etc.
