Egg freezing, a process of preserving a woman's fertility, is increasingly becoming a choice for those who wish to delay parenthood. At Nicosia Fertility, we provide egg freezing services for both medical and elective reasons, supporting women who prioritize career, education, or personal goals before starting a family.
Understanding Egg Freezing
Egg freezing is a cutting-edge fertility preservation technique that involves collecting a woman's eggs from the ovaries and freezing them to be used at a later date. This method safeguards the eggs from aging and external factors, maintaining their quality for future use.
The Egg Freezing Process
Pre-treatment Screening: Initial tests to determine suitability for egg freezing.
Ovarian Stimulation: Hormonal treatments are administered to stimulate multiple egg production.
Egg Retrieval: A minor procedure performed under sedation, where eggs are collected from the ovaries.
Vitrification: Eggs are frozen rapidly using advanced cryopreservation techniques, ensuring their viability.
Storage: The eggs are stored securely in liquid nitrogen until you are ready to use them.
Reasons for Choosing Egg Freezing
Fertility Preservation: Ideal for women who wish to delay childbearing but want to preserve their current fertility potential.
Medical Reasons: Useful for women who undergo medical treatments like chemotherapy, which might impair fertility.
Flexibility: Provides an opportunity to plan for a family without the immediate pressure of conception.
Frequently Asked Questions About Egg Freezing
Is there an age limit for egg freezing? While egg freezing can be performed at any age, it is most effective when done before the age of 35 due to the higher quality of eggs.
