ICSI sperm injection into oocyte. Oocyte cryopreservation is a procedure to preserve a woman's eggs ().The technique is often used to delay pregnancy.At the time pregnancy is desired, the eggs can be thawed, fertilized, and transferred to the uterus as embryos.
Cryopreservation of embryos is dependent on the species and the stage of development of the embryo. Pig embryos are the most difficult to freeze, thaw, and utilize produce live offspring due to their sensitivity to chilling and high lipid content.
Cryopreservation for embryos is used for embryo storage, e.g., when IVF has resulted in more embryos than is currently needed. One pregnancy and resulting healthy birth has been reported from an embryo stored for 27 years, after the successful pregnancy of an embryo from the same batch three years earlier. [ 39 ]
In current state of the art, early embryos having undergone cryopreservation implant at the same rate as equivalent fresh counterparts. [2] The outcome from using cryopreserved embryos has uniformly been positive with no increase in birth defects or development abnormalities, [3] [8] also between fresh versus frozen eggs used for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).

The Alabama Supreme Court ruled on Feb. 16 that frozen embryos can be considered “children” under state law, which was swiftly followed by multiple fertility centers, including the University ...
Diagram of stages of embryo development to a larval and adult stage. In developmental biology, animal embryonic development, also known as animal embryogenesis, is the developmental stage of an animal embryo. Embryonic development starts with the fertilization of an egg cell (ovum) by a sperm cell (spermatozoon). [1]
