What Is Egg Freezing and How Does It Work?
The Ideal Age for Freezing Eggs
Egg Freezing Helps Preserve Fertility
Egg freezing may be a viable option for maintaining your prevailing fertility. It can be an advised option if you have cancer that necessitates chemotherapy or radiation (both of which can actually affect your fertility) or if you need ovaries surgical intervention, or if you have an ailment that would do the same.
Knowing you have a family genealogy of slightly earlier menopause, Turner’s Syndrome (a chromosomal deformity associated with a risk of early ovarian failings), or a genetic disorder (such as BRCA, which can tend to lead you to breast and ovarian cancer) and making a decision to consider removing your ovaries are all valid reasons to discuss to your doctor about egg freezing.
If you don’t want to get pregnant currently but want to be certain that you can in the future, egg freezing could be a good option. Because the eggs are not fertilized before they are stored, egg freezing does not require sperm, as it does with fertilized egg freezing. You’ll need fertility medications to stimulate ovulation and start creating a large number of eggs for processing, just like with embryo freezing.
