Additional 1 month/1 year of storage

What is biomaterial storage extension

Cryopreservation is the process of freezing biological material at ultra-low temperatures under special conditions. This material is stored in cryo tanks until it is needed for an IVF program or another type of assisted reproductive technology.

After the initial storage period ends, patients have the option to:

• extend storage for 1 more month (for short-term changes in plans);
• choose 1-year storage (for long-term preservation of reproductive potential).

When it makes sense to extend material storage

The decision to prolong biomaterial storage is appropriate in many situations, such as:

• You are postponing your IVF program due to changing circumstances.
• You are planning to have a second child later using already created embryos.
• You are waiting for a more favorable life period (a new partner, health stabilization, completion of treatment).
• You want to preserve donor biomaterial for the future (for example, from an anonymous donor with a rare phenotype).
• You need time for legal or emotional decisions after an unsuccessful IVF attempt.
