Egg freezing is the act of removing eggs from a woman’s ovaries and storing them for later use when she feels ready for conception and pregnancy. These frozen eggs are safe to use and will maintain their quality for up to ten years after they have been frozen. The medical name for egg freezing is oocyte cryopreservation.
Women can opt for egg freezing for a variety of reasons.— They do not want to conceive a child right away, but they do not want to rule out the possibility of having a biological child. — Women with cancer frequently choose to have their eggs frozen because chemotherapy and treatment can impact their fertility.— Even with IVF treatments, if the male partner is unable to generate sperm on the day the eggs are retrieved, the eggs are frozen and then thawed before to fertilization.
Egg freezing is quite similar to IVF.— The woman is given hormone injections to enhance her egg production to more than one each month.— The eggs are extracted from the ovaries with a simple procedure.— The eggs are then frozen and stored safely in the lab for future use. These eggs are good for fertilization for up to 10 years after they are frozen.
Medical reasons: Cancer treatment, including chemotherapy and radiation therapy, might impact fertility in women. Egg freezing can help protect their fertility, allowing them to conceive biological children following the therapy.
Premature Ovarian Failure: Premature ovarian failure occurs when the ovaries quit working before the age of 40. Egg freezing can help preserve fertility.
Endometriosis: Endometriosis is a condition where the uterine tissue grows outside of the uterus. Egg freezing can help preserve fertility.
Unfavorable Male spouse: Women who do not have a spouse or whose male partner has a low sperm count or poor sperm quality can benefit from egg freezing to protect their fertility.
Social reasons: Women who desire to postpone parenthood for social reasons, such as pursuing higher education or job aspirations, might use egg freezing to protect their fertility.
