Egg Freezing (Oocyte cryopreservation)

Unfortunately, the reproductive potential of women declines by advancing age. Because both the quality and quantity of a woman's eggs, diminishes with age while the uterus maintain its ability to carry a pregnancy. Especially for women after 35 years old, the chance of pregnancy decreases and the risk of miscarriage and genetic abnormality increases due to diminished egg quality and quantity. Egg Freezing offers women flexibility in delaying pregnancy for later in life and allows them to take control of their own biological clock.

Oocyte Freezing Procedure:

1. Ovarian Stimulation (7 To 10 Days):

On Day 2-3 of the Menstrual Cycle, injections start for stimulating the growth of multiple follicles in the ovaries. Every 3 day, ultrasound scans are used to monitor follicular growth. 36 to 40 hours before the schedule Egg Retrieval (oocyte pick up), for oocyte trigger another injection is given to induce maturation of the eggs.

2. Egg Retrieval (OPU):

Eggs are retrieved using a thin ultrasound-guided needle during a minor procedure under sedation and are then frozen for later use.

3. Future IVF Cycle:

When you are ready for pregnancy, your eggs are thawed and fertilized using ICSI.
