Egg freezing (oocyte cryopreservation) allows women to store their healthy eggs at a younger age. This is especially helpful for those who want to delay pregnancy, are undergoing cancer treatments, have medical conditions like endometriosis, or simply want reproductive flexibility. Frozen eggs can be thawed, fertilized, and used for IVF whenever the woman is ready for pregnancy.
Sperm freezing is a quick and simple method for men to preserve their fertility. It is commonly used before cancer therapies, surgeries, or situations involving occupational risks. Frozen sperm remains viable for many years and can be used when needed for IUI or IVF. It is a valuable option for men with low sperm count or progressive medical ailments.
Embryo freezing involves fertilizing an egg with sperm in the laboratory and freezing the resulting embryo. This technique is often opted by couples planning pregnancy in the future, those undergoing IVF, or individuals wanting the highest success rates among preservation methods. Frozen embryos have excellent survival rates and can be transferred to the uterus at a later when needed.
