Egg Freezing and Embryo Freezing

Share This Post

Age is one the strongest factor when it comes to fertility. The younger the person, more the fertility. In females especially it holds true. Women have a finite number of eggs that they produce throughout their lifetime. The eggs reserve starts to reduce with every menstrual cycle. The quality of the egg also starts to degrade with age.

The ideal age for women to get pregnant is from 25 to 30 years of age. This age is, however, is also the age that many women want to dedicate to build their career and devote time to it. Thus women refrain from starting a family in this age. After 30 years of age, the fertility is at a downfall. The chances of conceiving naturally decrease and the chances of miscarriage increase.

To deal with such a situation, the egg and embryo freezing techniques are used. In the egg freezing process, the eggs are extracted from the woman’s uterus and preserved in a laboratory. Although the women will not stop ageing, the eggs can be stopped from ageing and the high-quality eggs can be preserved to be used in the future.
Embryo cryopreservation is another technique where the embryo formed by combining the eggs and the sperms are preserved. These embryos can be inseminated whenever the couple is ready to start their family through the IVF process.
