| The embryos are housed throughout their stay in the laboratory in special incubators. |
The fertilized oocytes are cultured until the day of embryo transfer. |
100,000 spermatozoa are added to each egg and incubated until the next morning. |

| Since 1984, thousands of babies have been born worldwide after having undergone embryo cryopreservation. |
The sperm must be immobilized before injecting it into the oocyte. |
Sperm is placed inside the oocyte with a special pipette. |
