What is Oocyte Freezing/Egg Freezing?
Oocyte freezing, commonly known as egg freezing, is a process in which a woman’s eggs are harvested, frozen, and stored for future use.
This fertility preservation method allows women to preserve their reproductive potential and opt for family planning at a later time, even after natural fertility may have declined. At Silver Lining IVF, we offer egg freezing services customized to meet the needs of modern women looking to take control of their reproductive future.
Why Do Women Opt for Egg Freezing?
Career Planning
Some women choose to delay pregnancy due to career aspirations or personal goals. Freezing eggs provides them with the flexibility to focus on their career without sacrificing their fertility.
Premature Ovarian Aging
Women with a family history of premature ovarian failure or those diagnosed with early signs of ovarian aging may consider egg freezing as a proactive measure.
Medical Reasons
omen diagnosed with conditions like cancer, autoimmune diseases, or other medical issues that could affect fertility may opt for egg freezing before starting treatments like chemotherapy or radiation, which could harm their ovarian reserve.
Personal Choice
Some women who are not ready to start a family but want to preserve the option for biological children in the future may opt for egg freezing.
Egg Freezing Process: Step by Step
How Long Can I Store My Eggs for Use in Treatment?
Eggs frozen through vitrification can be stored for an extended period without any significant loss of quality. In most countries, eggs can legally be stored for up to 10 years. However, in certain circumstances, such as medical reasons, this period can be extended to up to 55 years, depending on local regulations and the individual’s needs.
Key Points about Egg Storage Duration:
- Standard Storage Period: Typically, eggs are stored for up to 10 years for most women.
- Extended Storage: For women who freeze their eggs for medical reasons (such as cancer treatment), the storage period can be extended beyond 10 years, sometimes up to 55 years, based on specific legal permissions.
- Quality Over Time: The vitrification process ensures that the quality of eggs remains intact during long-term storage. There is no noticeable decline in the viability of the eggs, regardless of whether they are used after a few months or several years.
