Freeze-All Protocol
Freezing all embryos and transferring later, when your body is most ready.
- Vitrification with high survival
- Transfer in a prepared cycle
- Routine across suitable cases
About this treatment
In a freeze-all cycle, every suitable embryo is frozen (vitrified) after egg collection, and the transfer is done in a later, separate cycle. This 'decouples' stimulation from transfer.
The benefit is timing: hormone levels during stimulation aren't always ideal for the uterine lining. By transferring in a calm, prepared cycle, the embryo meets a more receptive endometrium — an approach we use routinely across suitable cases to support healthy pregnancies.
Who it's for
- A high response to stimulation (OHSS risk)
- Cycles using genetic testing (PGT)
- A non-ideal uterine lining during stimulation
- Anyone suited to a frozen embryo transfer
Key benefits
- Optimises endometrial receptivity
- Reduces OHSS risk
- Supports genetic-testing timelines
- Excellent embryo survival on thawing

Freeze-All — your questions
Common questions about this treatment. Anything else? Our team is happy to talk it through.
Modern vitrification gives excellent survival, and transferring into a prepared cycle can improve receptivity. For many patients a frozen transfer is as good as — or better than — a fresh one.
Embryos can be safely stored for years in our dedicated cryopreservation unit, giving you flexibility for future transfers or siblings.

Fertility outcomes vary from person to person and depend on age, diagnosis and other individual factors; no result is guaranteed. Figures shown are measured per embryo transfer at our Solapur centre — a beta-hCG positive (pregnancy-test) rate and a live-birth rate; a positive test is an earlier milestone than a live birth, and any comparison figures for other centres are their own publicly advertised numbers, which may be measured differently. Please consult our specialists for advice specific to you.
