Frozen Egg Bank Now Licensed in New York State
The Frozen Egg Bank Network is celebrating our one year anniversary and is pleased to announce that we have been awarded a certificate for tissue bank operation in the State of New York. This makes it possible for New York ART Centers to become a member of our growing network of egg freezing centers. We are pleased to report that our pregnancy rate is 53.4% per embryo transfer.
Established in 2005, Frozen Egg Bank’s freezing technique has resulted in the birth of 47 healthy babies in just 4 years. Our patients have achieved pregnancy by using their own frozen oocytes or by purchasing frozen donor oocytes from our ethnically diverse donor frozen egg pool. We are looking for high quality ART Centers to join us in offering egg freezing services to their patients locally in their community.
Here is how it works: FEB will train the embryologist at your clinic in the use of our Landa Freezing Technology using a programmed freeze/rapid thaw method, which closely mimics your ART Centers current frozen embryo program. A one day personalized hands-on teaching experience is provided by Antoine La, ELD, in our California facility. Simulated oocyte freezing and thawing plus ICSI training are included during the one day tutorial. A certificate of completion is issued and a sample of the freezing solution is included for practice in the home laboratory. When you are ready to freeze your oocytes, FEB will forward the freezing or thawing solutions to your facility. The frozen oocytes are stored in your clinic or can be shipped for long term storage at one of our affiliated facilities.
The other novel option is for you to browse our on-line frozen donor egg catalogue to select the donor of your choice. Your selected donor’s frozen eggs will be shipped directly to your facility where they can be thawed, fertilized and create embryos the same as in an FET cycle. This greatly reduces the synchronization problems we experience in fresh donor cycles and reduces the cost of a fresh donor cycle.
We are very excited to offer this unique opportunity and are looking to expand our services into New York State. We are happy to answer your questions or assist you in any way.
