It is the most effective technique for fertility preservation in women and is often included in part of IVF programmes to ensure the future use of unused embryos. Often fertility treatments, such as IVF, ICSI and egg donation, generate surplus healthy embryos. In around 50% of cases these embryos are of good enough quality to be frozen and stored for future use. Embryo freezing, therefore, offers greater flexibility to couples in their family planning and can be used effectively to reduce the number of multiple births.
