Cryopreservation of eggs

Egg cryopreservation is a modern medical procedure that allows you to postpone future motherhood, despite the decline in reproductive functions or the predicted loss of fertility. The procedure enables women of any age to experience the joy of motherhood.

The method is based on deep freezing of eggs in liquid nitrogen. The resulting biological material is subsequently thawed and used for the specified purposes. All biological processes stop in the cells that are in the process of freezing, so their life cycle stops for a certain period of time.

Only good quality eggs can be cryopreserved. It is these eggs that are able to withstand the procedure of freezing and subsequent thawing.

Appointment.

The need to preserve viable female germ cells in patients diagnosed with cancer (chemotherapy and radiation therapy negatively affect reproductive function);
A history of endometriosis and ovarian dysfunction;
The desire to postpone the birth of a child for a certain period of time;
The desire to get pregnant by fertilizing an egg with a donor's sperm (for example, when a woman visits a clinic without a partner).

Advantages of egg cryopreservation

The ability to freeze reproductive cells at a young age and give birth to a child in adulthood. Thus, your own thawed eggs will not lose their quality.
Cost savings and safety - there is no need for repeated hormonal stimulation of ovulation to obtain eggs.

Preparation and/or course of the procedure

Examination of a woman by specialists (obstetrician-gynecologist, reproductive specialist, passing the necessary instrumental and laboratory tests, therapist).
Hormonal stimulation of ovulation to achieve the maximum possible number of mature follicles with eggs.
Follicle puncture and egg collection in the operating room using general sedation.
Freezing of female germ cells using the vitrification method. This method avoids damage to the eggs during freezing.
Placing the vitrified eggs on special devices - cryotopes - and placing them in Duhar vessels for long-term storage.

Features and interesting facts

The procedure significantly increases the chances of becoming parents for those patients who, for some reason, cannot conceive a child naturally. In addition, the procedure can also be performed for social reasons, since in the modern world, many women prefer to build a career and postpone pregnancy to a later age.

Fertility in the female body significantly decreases over the years, so cryopreservation of eggs during the childbearing period (from 18 to 28 years) subsequently significantly reduces the risk of miscarriages and allows you to bear a child at any age.

Numbers are important:

A healthy woman produces 400,000 eggs in a lifetime;
1 in 1000 eggs reaches maturity during reproductive age and is subsequently fertilized;
-196°C is the freezing temperature of eggs;
80% of eggs survive thawing.
