Egg Freezing

Our advanced egg freezing technique, also known as oocyte vitrification, offers you the opportunity to protect your reproductive options for the future.

Why should I freeze my eggs?

After the age of 35, one in six women who decide to have children will encounter some kind of difficulty in achieving it. In addition, it is an excellent option if you do not yet want to become a mother, or if you suffer from any disease or are under any treatment that may affect fertility.

Why Is Fertility Preservation Recommended?

For Medical Reasons

Chemotherapy can affect the fertility of women receiving cancer treatment. This technology allows women to focus on their treatment and preserve their fertility to conceive after their recovery.


Other medical reasons include the risk of needing repeated ovarian surgery to treat diseases such as endometriosis or the risk of losing ovarian function due to autoimmune diseases that also require chemotherapy, or for bone marrow transplants.

For Personal Reasons

As women focus on their education and/or career, egg freezing offers them the assurance that their eggs will no longer age with them. Egg freezing is ideal for women under the age of 35 to make this procedure as effective as possible.

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 maintains the same age as when it was frozen.

The earlier you decide to freeze your eggs, the better chance you have of getting pregnant when you are ready or want to start a family.

What is Fertility Preservation?

We preserve your fertility

Fertility preservation consists of different assisted reproductive procedures that help to achieve a healthy pregnancy in the future. For women, we offer egg freezing, which is the process of extracting the patient’s eggs, freezing them by vitrification and preserving them at very low temperatures for an indefinite period of time.

 

The eggs will not age, remaining the same age they were when they were retrieved and frozen.

 

It consists of the following procedures:

Ovarian Stimulation

We stimulate your ovaries with hormonal medication to encourage follicle development.

Extraction and Collection

We extract the resulting eggs and/or the sperm to be used following the most advanced techniques.

Egg Retrieval Process

The procedure to extract the eggs is relatively painless and is performed under light sedation.

Egg Vitrification

We follow a procedure called egg vitrification. Egg vitrification is a quick freezing method.

Egg Preservation

Your eggs are stored in our state-of-the-art, environmentally controlled laboratory facility.

Egg Thawing

When you are ready, you will need to book an In Vitro Fertilization procedure to have those eggs fertilized.

Who is egg freezing recommended for?

  • It is recommended for patients at risk of losing ovarian function: women who have been diagnosed with cancer and will receive chemotherapy or radiation therapy, women with autoimmune diseases requiring bone marrow transplants or chemotherapy, and women who have to undergo frequent ovarian surgeries to treat conditions such as endometriosis.

  • When there is no medical indication, it is recommended for women who decide to postpone childbearing for various reasons, whether social, financial or professional.

Our journey had been long and unsuccessful trying to get pregnant. We decided to visit a fertility clinic near where we live and it was not the experience we were looking for. I mentioned the idea of medical tourism and we found Panama Fertility. Some of the reasons we decided to choose Panama Fertility is the cost difference. We made a virtual appointment with the clinic and felt very comfortable with the doctor. He explained to us how the whole process could work, we could live in South Florida and just travel for the treatments. However, we had been working from home for a while and decided to move to Panama. I loved the people, I loved the country. And it is a much nicer lifestyle at a fraction of the price. Everyone at the clinic has been very nice. And now we are looking forward to our new chapter in the story.

After 11 years of marriage and three years without success, we knew something was wrong. Despite visiting specialists and undergoing tests, we never received a conclusive answer. Eventually, we gave up the idea of becoming parents. However, during the pandemic, we decided to explore our options and discovered Panama Fertility. From the first visit, we received a clear plan and felt supported by Dr. Mario Vega, who was always accessible. The process was smooth and, to our surprise, we conceived on the first try. The supportive environment of the clinic relieved all our stress. The level of professionalism and customer service is exceptional. We sincerely recommend Panama Fertility.

Frequently Asked Questions

At Panama Fertility, the egg freezing process begins with ovarian stimulation, where fertility drugs are administered to stimulate the ovaries and produce multiple mature eggs. The progress of the ovarian stimulation is monitored by ultrasound scans and measurements of hormone levels. Once the eggs reach the desired stage, they are removed in a minimally invasive procedure. The eggs are carefully frozen using advanced cryopreservation techniques for future use.
Eggs can be frozen and stored at Panama Fertility for an extended period of time, usually up to 10 years or more, following local regulations and clinic policies. The state-of-the-art cryopreservation facility ensures that eggs are optimally stored and maintained to preserve their viability.

It is important to consider your age, as the quality and quantity of eggs decrease with age. The younger you are when freezing your eggs, the greater the chances of future success. Other factors to consider include your personal and medical history, as well as your future family planning goals. Consulting with a fertility specialist at Panama Fertility can help you make an informed decision based on your circumstances.

 

Egg freezing is generally considered safe, but like any medical procedure, there are potential risks.
