Does egg vitrification have any effect on the baby?

By Aurea García Segovia B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).
Last Update: 08/04/2022

With respect to children or pregnancies, there is no scientific article, no serious study that tells us that there are differences between newborns born from eggs from fresh cycles or from eggs from vitrified cycles. There are many studies on epigenetics, but these studies also have to take into account other things, such as, for example, what type of culture medium was used, what type of fertilization technique was used.... But as of today there is nothing with sufficient scientific evidence to tell us that there can be any problem in the children if they have been generated with vitrified eggs.
