In a recent conversation, Dr. Sarah Ellis chatted with Dr. Mike Thompson about the various fertility preservation methods available for women today. They discussed popular choices like egg freezing and embryo freezing, as well as emerging technologies like ovarian tissue freezing. Dr. Ellis elaborated on who might benefit from these options and what advancements have been made in this field.
If you’re considering preserving your fertility, egg and embryo freezing might be right for you. The first successful birth from frozen eggs occurred in 1986, and since then, the technology has advanced significantly. Dr. Ellis shared, “In our clinic, we’ve completed over 100 egg banking cycles recently, achieving about a 90 percent survival rate for eggs and a 50 percent pregnancy rate, which matches the success rates of traditional IVF procedures. It’s truly a game changer.”
