The Cryopreservation Program at the Massachusetts General Hospital Fertility Center offers leading-edge technology in oocyte cryopreservation (egg banking) for fertility preservation.
This procedure has been developed at Mass General by a highly specialized multidisciplinary cryobiology team of physicians, embryologists and cryobiologists. In addition, embryo cryopreservation, including blastocyst freezing and embryo banking, is provided.
During cryopreservation, your cells—including eggs, sperm or embryos—are cooled to low sub-zero temperatures (typically 77 K or −196°C) to obtain suspended animation. The cryopreservation of sperm and embryos has been offered for decades. However, cryopreservation of the human egg is a recent development, and novel research at Mass General continues to advance this technology.
Many of our patients are being treated at Mass General Fertility Center for conditions that might affect their fertility. We understand this and strive to provide our patients with up-to-the-minute information.
Throughout treatment, you will enjoy a personal relationship with the physician in charge of your care as well as all our Fertility Center physicians. At your first appointment, we review your medical history, discuss the most appropriate treatment options and develop your personalized treatment plan.
