EGG & SPERM FREEZING

Female fertility begins to decline after 30 years of age as the quality and quantity of the eggs in her ovaries declines

But your uterus remains healthy and able to support pregnancy until about age 50. The continued loss of eggs associated with this decline results in increased rates of miscarriage, chromosomal (genetic) abnormalities, and infertility especially for women older than thirty-five.

EGG &SPERM FREEZING

Female FERTILITY begins to DECLINE after 30 years of age as the quality and quantity of the eggs in the ovaries decreases. Even in males, the number of good quality healthy sperms declines with increasing ages and DNA damage of the sperms increases. These age-related changes lead to INFERTILITY, increased rates of MISCARRIAGE, chromosomal (GENETIC) abnormalities or PREGNANCY COMPLICATIONS.

FERTILITY PRESERVATION techniques like EGG FREEZING gives a woman the opportunity to store her ‘younger’ eggs to be used later for pregnancy when she is ready.

Similarly men or women going for a CANCER TREATMENT following which generally fertility potential decreases drastically ,can have their SPERM OR EGG CRYO PRESERVED. This ensures that they still have the choice to start a family and is a reliable BACK-UP PLAN if you encounter fertility problems.

EGG FREEZING involves a woman choosing to have eggs retrieved from her ovaries, frozen to preserve their viability and stored until she is ready to use them in a future in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment to achieve pregnancy.
EGG FREEZING gives a woman the opportunity to use ‘younger’ eggs whenever she decides she would like to become pregnant. This allows her to avoid the decreased fertility and increased miscarriage rates associated with advanced age.If you freeze your eggs at age 28 and use them at age 39, your chance of a successful pregnancy is same as of 28-year old women.

Who should go for EGG FREEZING??

Freezing is suggested for women who:

Not ready to have children right now as want to focus on with their education or careers first or due it issues.
Family history of early menopause
Cancer patients going for chemotherapy or radiotherapy as they may damage the reproductive cells and leave individuals unable to have the child they have been dreaming of.
Wishing to delay having another child

What is the process of freezing eggs?

It is similar to the initial process of IVF because both begin with OVULATION INDUCTION or Controlled Ovarian Hyperstimulation, the woman takes hormone medication to increase the number of eggs available. The patient will need to take hormones daily for approximately 10 to 12 days to produce multiple eggs before regular ovulation.

EGG RETRIVAL is a short surgical procedure where the mature eggs in their follicles are aspirated via a long needle inserted through the vagina under ultrasound guidance.
The collected eggs are then frozen with a method known as VETRIFICATION . They are then stored in a secure facility until needed.

EGG CRYOPRESERVATION Is it right for me??

There are many valid reasons to delay pregnancy.

No matter the reason, only you can determine the ‘best time’ to start your family.With the egg freezing technologies , you can feel empowered knowing that you have the final say over your biological clock

What is the best time for EGG FREEZING??

Earlier is better when it comes to selecting a time to freeze your eggs. Younger eggs offer better chances of a successful pregnancy, no matter when you decide to use the eggs. Optimum egg freezing age is 25-37 when you have the highest ovarian reserve. Egg freezing after age 37 is still an option, but you may need multiple IVF cycles to get the recommended number of eggs.

Advancing age.
Deteriorating sperm quality or low quantity.
Cancer or other medical reasons.
