A member asked:

What causes frozen embryo thawing failure?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Gerard Honore answered

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

Why do: Embryos not thaw successfully? Traditionally many sub-standard embryos have been frozen that probably should not have; these often die in thawing. The usual cause of embryo death in the past with traditional slow-freeze techniques is formation and shattering of ice crystals within the embryo.

Dr Pappas and 3 doctors agreed
