What is Ferti Freeze?

The increasing participation of women in the workforce has resulted in a significant delay in the age at which they have their first child. As a consequence, more and more women encounter fertility challenges and require assisted reproductive techniques to achieve pregnancy. However, the success of these treatments is ultimately limited by the age of the patient, as success rates are closely tied to a woman's age, a factor that cannot be altered.

To address this issue, fertility preservation through egg vitrification has emerged as the preferred preventive strategy for women who wish to postpone childbearing. Vitrification is a rapid freezing technique that preserves the eggs in their current state, maintaining their quality and characteristics at the time of freezing. This approach significantly increases the chances of success if a woman encounters fertility problems in the future and requires reproductive treatment.

Ideally, oocyte vitrification is recommended for women under the age of 35. However, in certain cases where ovarian reserve is favorable, it can be performed up to the ages of 38 to 40. It is crucial to provide appropriate reproductive counseling prior to oocyte vitrification, guiding women on the recommended number of eggs to be preserved and whether the procedure is beneficial for their specific circumstances.

In terms of the medical protocol for oocyte vitrification, the treatment process aligns with the initial phase of in vitro fertilization (IVF). The ovaries are stimulated using a personalized hormonal regimen, and regular monitoring is conducted to ensure the follicles reach the appropriate size for ovarian puncture.

Once mature eggs are obtained, they are vitrified and safely stored in the NatuVitro laboratory until the woman decides to utilize them. Should you desire more information about in vitro fertilization, please click on the provided link.
