New advances in India in the ability to successfully cryopreserve (freeze) human eggs has led to new work aimed at allowing for further advances in our ability to freeze and store such human eggs. World renowed scientists, physicians and cryobiologists have come together at the Fertility Institutes to offer patients with a variety of medical indications the ability to preserve their unfertilized eggs in a frozen state. Such frozen storage allows women the opportunity to potentially preserve their fertility by suspending their eggs in time...

The procedure lasts about 20-30 minutes. You will remain in the recovery area....
Q.Where will the eggs be stored ?

Due to the high volume of eggs are being frozen, your eggs may be transferred to a long term cryobank storage facility...
