Whether you’re focusing on your career or facing health challenges, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
What Is Egg and Embryo Freezing?
Also known as oocyte cryopreservation, egg and embryo freezing offers a fantastic way to preserve your fertility for the future. It gives you the flexibility to plan your family on your own terms, without the ticking clock of your biological clock stressing you out. This can be especially helpful for women who are not quite ready to start a family yet, or those who may need to undergo medical treatments that could impact their fertility.
Who Can Benefit?
Egg and embryo freezing is a game-changer for:
- Women undergoing cancer treatments that may affect their ability to conceive later on.
- Those who want to delay starting a family but still hope to have biological children in the future.
The Freezing Process
So, what does the egg freezing process look like? It’s pretty straightforward and involves a few key steps:
- Fertility Injections: You’ll take some hormone injections to help your body produce more eggs than it would in a natural cycle.
- Monitoring: We’ll keep a close eye on your egg production through blood tests and ultrasounds.
- Egg Retrieval: The actual egg retrieval is a quick 30-minute procedure.
- Freezing: Finally, the eggs are frozen using a method called vitrification, which is a super-fast freezing process that helps maintain their quality.
Why Choose PFCLA?
At PFCLA, we use advanced vitrification for egg freezing, which has been shown to result in higher pregnancy rates compared to slower freezing methods. Once your eggs are frozen, they can stay in storage until you’re ready to use them.
Research has shown promising results from babies born from frozen eggs, indicating no significant increase in chromosomal abnormalities or other health issues. For instance, studies have tracked children conceived from frozen eggs and found no concerning patterns in pregnancy length, birth weight, or overall health after a few years.
