  • Egg freezing, or oocyte vitrification, is the process of freezing eggs, or oocytes that have been collected from the ovaries. During this procedure, water is first removed from the egg to protect it during the freezing process. Next, RMA of New York embryologists will place the eggs onto a straw-like tool called a vitrification device. The vitrification device is then placed in liquid nitrogen tanks where they are safely frozen until you are ready to utilize them.

  • Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection, or ICSI, is a procedure where a single sperm is selected and then injected directly into an egg by an RMA of New York embryologist. This process is used to increase chances of fertilization.

  • An important part of preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) is a procedure called embryo trophectoderm biopsy. RMA of NY embryologists perform this procedure on a blastocyst by removing cells from the trophectoderm of a Day 5, 6, or 7 embryo. The removed cells are then tested at a specialized genetics laboratory. After biopsy, the embryo is frozen, and if deemed healthy, is recommended for future use.

  • A frozen embryo transfer cycle involves utilizing previously frozen embryos to achieve pregnancy. When the patient’s endometrium and hormone levels are optimized, your physician’s team will notify RMA of NY’s embryologists to thaw your previously frozen embryo and prepare it for embryo transfer to resume growing and implant in the uterus.
