  • Best suited for women who prefer delaying childbirth.

2. Sperm Freezing (Sperm Cryopreservation)

  • Semen samples are taken and frozen for future use in fertility procedures.
  • Most common in men with cancer or those in the military.

3. Embryo Freezing (Embryo Cryopreservation)

  • Fertilized embryos are frozen and preserved to be used in the future.
  • Most suitable for couples who will be having IVF in the future.

4. Ovarian Tissue Freezing

  • Ovarian tissue is surgically removed and frozen.
  • Helpful in young patients with cancer who cannot have eggs recovered.
