EGG freezing

What is the egg freezing process? Who can freeze eggs?

Egg reserve refers to the numerical amount and quality of
the follicles (eggs) in the ovaries of the woman. In a woman with reduced
ovarian reserve, the chance of conceiving spontaneously or with treatment
decreases, and even if pregnancy is present, the risk of miscarriage increases.

What is Egg Freezing?

Egg freezing is the
process of freezing the egg (oocyte) obtained from the woman’s ovary for future
use. This method, in which the eggs collected from the female ovaries with
the help of vaginal ultrasonography are frozen in the laboratory, allows the
eggs to be stored and used in the future. Egg retrieval for egg freezing
is the same as in IVF. When the egg cell is frozen, it has the
characteristics of the woman’s current age. Healthy babies can be born
from pregnancies that can be obtained from thawed eggs.

The medical necessities required for egg freezing in women are as follows.

– Before treatments that damage egg cells such as chemotherapy,
radiotherapy,

– Before surgeries that will lead to loss of
reproductive functions

– If there is a low ovarian reserve but not yet
delivered, or if the family history of early menopause is documented by a
medical board report consisting of three experts, we can freeze the woman’s
eggs regardless of age factor.
