Eggs and Embryo Freezing

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 Pristyn Care Ferticity Fertility Clinics provide the Best Eggs embryo freezing treatment and have been doing this cryopreservation for a very long time with high success rates.

How are the Eggs and Embryos stored for freezing?

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

For women who want to maintain their fertility in the future, egg freezing can be advantageous for a variety of reasons, including:

Women who want to delay childbirth for a particular period to pursue an educational, career or other personal goals
Women who are going through personal circumstances
Women diagnosed with cancer
Women who have been diagnosed with any infections, organ failure or other health concerns

A woman in her prime reproductive years i.e 20s may feel confident about her family building timeline. Unfortunately, not every woman’s journey to motherhood is clear, and some may wonder how long they should wait before considering fertility preservation. It is recommended to freeze eggs in the late 20s or early 30s and for the best chance of pregnancy, it should be done by the age of 36.

Egg-freezing, also known as oocyte cryopreservation in medical terms, entails stimulating the ovaries with hormones to generate many eggs, extracting the eggs from the ovaries, and freezing them unfertilized for later use.

That depends on several factors, the most important of which is the age factor. Because your age at the time of freezing is the best indicator of how many of your eggs will be genetically normal. While there is no ‘magic number’ that will guarantee a pregnancy in the future, women 34 and younger can rest assured that preserving 10-12 eggs will increase their chances of having at least a child. For women who are 35-38 years old, about 15 eggs are optimal; for women 38 and older, the data are more limited and less clear.

If you are over 38 years old then also it is possible to freeze your eggs. However, as the number of eggs produced by the body decreases, the number of eggs that can be retrieved and frozen will depend upon your egg reserve. As pregnancy rates diminish after the age of 35, freezing your eggs sooner is often recommended. Donor eggs from a younger woman are often recommended to a woman over 40 who wants to delay their fertility.

You can either freeze a large number of eggs to be fertilized later to produce a few embryos, or fertilize the eggs immediately after retrieval and preserve a few embryos that develop. In either case, your odds of becoming pregnant are likely to be the same.

Although egg freezing offers the possibility of a future pregnancy, there is no assurance of success.

No, egg freezing won’t lower your ovarian reserve and won’t decrease your chances of getting pregnant naturally in the future.

They can be frozen for as long as you desire.

A woman with a regular period can expect to get her next period at the same time of her normal cycle i.e 28-30 days after her previous period begin and at times they can be early too.

Yes, as long as your baseline testing is normal, you can start a new cycle shortly after finishing the previous one. For personal reasons, some women choose to take a month or more “off” between cycles, but this is not essential.

The ovary’s overall supply of eggs is not depleted by retrieving eggs during a single cycle. Rather, it “saves” available eggs that might otherwise be discarded.
