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?

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:

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.
