Embryo cryopreservation is a process in which embryos are frozen and stored for future use. This technique is commonly used in assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedures, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), to preserve the potential for pregnancy at a later date. The embryos are typically frozen at the blastocyst stage, which is 5-7 days after fertilization, using advanced freezing techniques like vitrification.
