Vitrification of eggs, sperm and embryos — for medical reasons (cancer, endometriosis, surgery) or social (career, partner-pending). ART-Act 2021 compliant.
Fertility preservation is no longer fringe. In India, women in their early-to-mid thirties are increasingly choosing to freeze eggs while ovarian reserve is still strong, and oncology patients are routinely referred for emergency cycles before chemotherapy. Both pathways need a clinic that does this often, with a vitrification protocol that has documented thaw survival above 95%.
For a woman freezing at 32, around 15–20 mature eggs gives a realistic 70–80% chance of one live birth in the future. At 37, the same outcome may need 25–30 eggs, often spread across two stimulation cycles. At 40, the calculus shifts again — and we'll be honest with you about whether the numbers justify the cost.
We model this for you specifically based on your AMH, antral follicle count and age — not on marketing averages. The conversation includes what happens if you ultimately don't use the eggs, what storage costs over a decade, and how thaw-and-fertilise outcomes look in our own lab.
When fertility preservation is needed before cancer treatment, we work with your oncologist to compress the entire stimulation cycle into 10–12 days, often using random-start protocols so we don't have to wait for a natural cycle. For women who can't undergo stimulation — for example, hormone-sensitive cancers in certain configurations — we offer ovarian tissue cryopreservation in collaboration with referring centres.
The goal is to never delay cancer treatment. Most oncology preservation cycles are completed within two weeks of referral, and we coordinate directly with your treating team.
Egg, sperm and embryo freezing in India is governed by the ART (Regulation) Act 2021. Frozen gametes can be stored up to 10 years for personal use; embryo storage is permitted only for the couple who created them, with both partners' continuing consent. Donation of stored gametes follows separate consent and registry processes.
We handle all consents, registrations, ART National Registry filings and annual storage renewals — you don't have to chase paperwork. Stored material is identity-locked and only released with documented consent.
Sperm freezing is straightforward — a single visit, sample produced at the lab, frozen the same day. We recommend it before vasectomy, oncology treatment, testicular surgery, or any high-risk occupation. For couples already in an IVF cycle, surplus blastocysts are vitrified routinely and stored for future siblings or repeat transfers — embryo thaw survival in our lab exceeds 98%.
Up to 10 years under current Indian regulation, with annual storage renewals. Re-consent is required at each renewal.
No — stimulation uses one cycle's worth of follicles that would otherwise have been lost to natural attrition. It does not deplete your reserve or bring forward menopause.
Yes, fully legal under the ART Act 2021 for any woman aged 21–50, with appropriate consent and counselling.
You can choose to discard, donate (under regulated conditions) or continue storage. The choice is documented in advance and revocable at any time.
