Egg freezing involves the freezing of eggs of a female after retrieval, this makes it possible for a woman to achieve pregnancy whenever she wishes to without worrying about any infertility issues. This technique also helps single/divorced women to preserve their eggs for later use. The eggs and embryo freezing process is not new and is quite popular and successful in creating pregnancies when used. These freezing techniques are also known as cryopreservation.
In embryo freezing, sperm and ovaries are fertilized and the embryo is created in the lab. These embryos are then preserved for future use in the lab by a process of slow cooling or vitrification (rapid cooling).
We at Ethics IVF Clinics provide the Best Eggs embryo freezing treatment and have been doing this cryopreservation for a very long time with high success rates.
After the ovarian reserve testing, a female is given ovulation inducer medicines to collect many eggs at a time. These eggs are later retrieved by using a simple procedure under general anesthesia by passing a needle-like probe through the vaginal opening. These retrieved eggs are then stored at -196 degrees temperature in liquid nitrogen after injecting with a cryoprotectant. This cryoprotectant prevents the formation of crystals. These eggs are preserved like this till the time they are defrosted to use.
In the case of embryo preservation, the eggs are fertilized with the sperm and the embryos are formed. These embryos are then preserved the same way as the eggs.
- Single women who don’t want to get married right now can preserve their fertility by freezing eggs for a later use
- Females facing any medical issues that can hamper their fertility such as endometriosis, cancer (uterine, breast, etc) can benefit from egg-freezing to get pregnant after the completion of their treatment
- Divorced females (whose biological clock is ticking but pregnancy is not a choice at the moment)
- Embryo freezing can give chances of fertility to the couple who are not ready to have children right now.
- Embryo freezing provides a chance to the females undergoing some treatments that can hamper their fertility
- A healthy embryo once frozen can be defrosted whenever implanting is needed. The chances of achieving pregnancy are almost equal or even better than fresh embryos.
