 | What is Egg Freezing? Egg freezing, also known as oocyte cryopreservation, is a medical procedure that allows women to preserve their fertility by retrieving and storing unfertilized eggs for future use. When you are ready to conceive, your eggs can be thawed, fertilized via IVF, and implanted to achieve pregnancy. It’s an ideal option for women who want to delay childbearing for personal, career, or medical reasons, while ensuring they still have the possibility of future parenthood. |
Why Women Choose Egg Freezing
Women opt for egg freezing at our hospital in Ahmedabad for several reasons:
- Career or educational goals: Prioritize your education or career without compromising future family planning.
- Medical treatment: Preserve fertility before chemotherapy, radiation, or surgeries that could affect reproductive health.
- Genetic conditions: Women with a family history of premature ovarian failure or certain genetic mutations can secure their fertility.
- Personal reasons: Maintain control over your reproductive timeline and wait for the right partner.
- Other health conditions: Women with PCOS, endometriosis, or other fertility-impacting conditions can proactively safeguard their eggs.
The Egg Freezing Process
The egg freezing process at MAA Women’s Hospital & IVF Center typically spans 2–3 weeks:
- Initial consultation & testing: Assess medical history, hormone levels, and ovarian reserve.
- Ovarian stimulation: Self-administer hormone injections for 10–12 days to stimulate multiple eggs.
- Monitoring: Regular ultrasounds and blood tests track egg development.
- Egg retrieval: A minor outpatient procedure under sedation retrieves mature eggs.
- Freezing & storage: Eggs are flash-frozen using vitrification and stored safely in liquid nitrogen.
- Thawing & fertilization: Eggs are thawed and fertilized via ICSI when you are ready.
- Embryo transfer: Resulting embryos are implanted to achieve pregnancy.
Success Rates and Important Factors
Egg freezing increases your chances of future pregnancy, but success depends on:
- Age: Freezing before 35 significantly improves outcomes. Women under 36 have a live birth rate of approximately 45%.
- Number of eggs: More eggs frozen = higher likelihood of success.
- Thawing technique: Vitrification ensures up to 99% egg survival during thawing.
Risks and Considerations
While generally safe, egg freezing may involve:
- Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS): Rare, may cause swelling, pain, or fluid buildup.
- Retrieval risks: Minimal risk of bleeding, infection, or damage to nearby organs.
- Emotional impact: Hormone therapy and frequent appointments can be stressful.
- Financial considerations: Costs for cycles, medication, and storage can be significant.
- No guarantee: Not all eggs survive, and pregnancy is not assured.
