How long can frozen embryos be kept for?

No one knows what the maximum storage period might be. Procedures for human embryo freezing were developed in 1984 and only went into widespread use in the late 1980s. This means that the longest time a human embryo has been stored is 12-15 years and, typically, patients that have left embryos in storage for this long are not coming back for them. Some patients have come back after 10-12 years and the embryos have been thawed successfully. Beyond this time frame, we don't know how long an embryo will remain viable.

Did you come from your mum's tummy?

Yes you did. The tummy is called the abdominopelvic region. And inside there is a special place called a uterus. When a baby develops, it starts out as an embryo implanted in the wall of the uterus. And as it grows mum's tummy gets bigger. Then after about nine months, the baby wants to come out because there is not enough space in her tummy anymore. And then the baby inside, called a fetus, it is delivered through the birth canal out into the world and we have a new baby that will grow into an adult human being.
