Embryo freezing is a fertility treatment in which embryos are cryopreserved for later use, usually in infertile couples or those undergoing elective cycles. In Belgium, this process involves ovarian stimulation followed by egg retrieval and embryo freezing. After successful fertilization with the partner's or donor's sperm, embryos are cultured until they reach a suitable stage for freezing.
Belgium has world-class IVF clinics offering advanced reproductive technologies. This treatment can cost between €3,500 and €8,000, including medications and consultations.
