Why is Fertility Preservation Recommended?
Medical Reasons
For women undergoing cancer treatment, chemotherapy can render patients infertile. This fertility technology enables women to focus on their treatment and preserve their fertility for later when they recover and are ready to conceive.Other medical reasons include being at risk of needing repeated ovarian surgery to treat diseases such as endometriosis or being at risk of losing ovarian function due to autoimmune diseases that also require chemotherapy, bone marrow transplants
Personal Reasons
As women pursue their education and career, egg freezing gives women reassurance that their eggs are no longer aging with them. Egg freezing is ideally suited to women under 35 and for this procedure to be most effective, the earlier you elect to freeze your eggs the better chance of a successful pregnancy later on when you are ready to start a family.For women who have not yet met their partner or want to experience single motherhood, egg freezing allows them to stop their biological clock as the egg stays the same age as when it was frozen.

What does Fertility Preservation consist of?
Fertility Preservation consists of several assisted reproduction procedures to help achieve pregnancy in the future. For women, we offer egg freezing, which is the process of retrieving and preserving the patient's eggs at very low temperatures through vitrification for an indefinite period.The eggs will not age, remaining the same when retrieved and frozen.
It consists of the following procedures:

Ovarian Stimulation
The patient starts on medication to stimulate ovaries and help follicles mature for collection and is monitored to ensure the medicine has the desired effect, or it may be adjusted if the patient is over or under-stimulated.
Once our fertility consultant confirms that the right number of follicles is achieved, we will schedule an appointment for the egg retrieval procedure.
Egg Retrieval Day
Generally, this procedure is scheduled approximately 12 days after starting medication.
Recovery time is short or minimal, with no cuts or stitches. Most patients return to work the following day.
Egg Retrieval Process
The egg retrieval procedure is relatively quick and painless and conducted under light sedation.
Our fertility specialist collects the eggs using a fine catheter through the vaginal wall into the ovary with light suction.
Egg Vitrification
We follow a procedure called egg vitrification. Egg vitrification is the fast freeze method using liquid nitrogen in which the eggs are frozen at -196º to ensure they remain young and in the best conditions for the future.
Egg Preservation
Your frozen eggs are stored in our state-of-the-art facilities, in a controlled lab environment to ensure optimal preservation for future use.
Thawing for Use
The success rate using thawed eggs is similar to the use of fresh eggs.
When you are ready, you will need to book an IVF procedure to have those eggs fertilized with your partner's or a donor's sperm.
