Embryo Vitrification
Embryo vitrification is a technique used in assisted reproductive technology (ART) to preserve embryos for future use. It involves rapidly cooling the embryos to very low temperatures, typically below -196 degrees Celsius, in order to halt all cellular activity and prevent ice crystal formation. This process allows the embryos to be stored for extended periods without compromising their viability.
Process of Embryo Vitrification:
1. Selection of Embryos:
-
- Embryos are typically cultured in an incubator until they reach a specific developmental stage before the vitrification process begins.
2. Equilibration:
-
-
- Embryos are exposed to a series of cryoprotectant solutions to replace water within the cells and prevent ice formation during the cooling process.
-
3. Vitrification:
-
-
-
- Embryos are then placed into a small volume of a highly concentrated cryoprotectant solution and rapidly cooled to ultra-low temperatures using liquid nitrogen. This rapid cooling prevents the formation of ice crystals.

-
4. Storage:
-
-
-
-
- Vitrified embryos can be stored in liquid nitrogen for an extended period, sometimes years, without significant degradation.

Advantages of Embryo Vitrification:
1. Higher Survival Rates:
-
- Vitrification has been shown to result in higher survival rates compared to traditional slow freezing methods.
2. Improved Pregnancy Rates:
-
- The use of vitrified embryos has been associated with improved pregnancy rates in certain cases, possibly due to better preservation of embryo viability.
3. Extended Storage:
- Vitrification allows for long-term storage, giving individuals or couples the flexibility to use the embryos at a later date.
4. Reduced Cryoprotectant Toxicity:
- The rapid cooling process minimizes the exposure time to cryoprotectants, reducing potential toxicity to the embryos.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is IVF treatment?
In-Vitro-Fertilization (IVF) is a type of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) that helps you get pregnant if you are not able to do so naturally.
When is the right time to start IVF treatment?
Your doctor will explain the best time to start the treatment after the initial consultation, examination, and blood tests. Your clinician may start your treatment on the 2nd or 3rd day of your period.
Is IVF safe & Painful?
IVF is a very safe and effective treatment option and with the latest advancement in medical technology, IVF results have improved significantly.
IVF is not at all painful because the injections used for IVF are purified and injected in subcutaneous form. The egg collection process is done under light sedation which is also not painful. At the time of embryo transfer, anesthesia is not given but it is a 2 to 5 minutes process that hardly causes any pain. Every patient is different; therefore the process will differ from patient to patient. However, when it comes to IVF injections, they are thin and easy and do not require an intervention. They can also be administered under anesthesia if required.

Title: A Ray of Hope in Our Journey to Parenthood - LIFE FERTILIY ADVANCED IVF & RESEARCH CENTRE, VISAKHAPATNAM
My husband and I recently experienced the incredible joy of achieving a positive result after a year and a half of emotional struggle and uncertainty in our quest to become parents. This milestone would not have been possible without the exceptional care and support we received from the dedicated team at LIFE FERTILITY CLINIC.
From the moment we walked through the doors of the clinic, we were met with warmth and compassion. The journey of infertility is often filled with countless doctor’s appointments, tests, and treatments, but the staff at this clinic made us feel like we were never alone.
First and foremost, the medical expertise exhibited by the doctors viz. Dr G Jaya Prakash and Dr G Shashi Kumari, are second to none. Their knowledge and experience in the field of assisted reproductive technology were apparent from the outset. They took the time to thoroughly explain every step of the IVF process, patiently answering our many questions and addressing our concerns. This level of transparency and communication was a source of comfort throughout our journey.
The meticulously followed checks, tests and procedures seemed little vexing initially, but it made us realise that it was for the betterment for a thorough check and ensuring the best for the couple.
The nurses and support staff at the clinic also played an equally vital role in our experience. Their unwavering support and kindness were a lifeline during the ups and downs of the treatment cycle. They were not just healthcare providers; they became friends who genuinely cared about our well-being.
The facility itself was modern, clean, and well-equipped, creating a comforting atmosphere during our visits. The attention to detail in maintaining a sterile environment was commendable and further instilled confidence in the care we were receiving.
Our journey was not without its challenges, but the unwavering comfort, support and expertise provided by the Doctors turned our struggle into a success story. Today, as we eagerly await the arrival of our little one, we can’t help but reflect on the incredible team of professionals who made it all possible.
If you find yourself on the difficult path of starting a family and are seeking a beacon of hope, we wholeheartedly recommend LIFE FERTILITY CLINIC, VISAKHAPATNAM. Their commitment to excellence, compassion, and personalized care transformed our lives and made our dream of becoming parents a reality. We will forever be grateful and indebted to the entire team for their role in our journey to parenthood.
Wishing the team many more such success stories and bringing happiness to many couples through their conducive and comfort environment.

Dr. shashi kumari is simply the best ! We struggled with fertility issues for 6 years and had already been to 2 other fertility doctors before a friend recommended Dr. murali and dr. prakash sir. We were skeptical that they could be so different from the others but remained open and hopeful. We wanted to get pregnant and had already tried several ways they doctors GOT US PREGNANT FOR THE Second TRY- doing IVF with him was a success! I don’t know why he has the magic touch but he does! Plus he is just a great person all around! He was there on every step of the way. he just knows what he is doing and doesn’t pass you off to a lab tech to figure everything out. We would HIGHLY recommended him to anyone trying to conceive! His staff also gets to know you while you’re going through the process. They are all super kind and helpful with all the meds and appointments! What a difference compared to the other clinics and life fertility is the transparency no compromise. thank u life fertility.
