What is Egg Freezing?

Egg freezing, also known as egg vitrification, is part of the assisted reproductive techniques that allows women to preserve the reproductive potential by extracting eggs from the female ovary, which have not been fertilized, with the aim of being preserved for future use.

After some time, the frozen or vitrified eggs can be thawed and fertilized with a sperm in a laboratory to create an embryo and implant it in the female uterus through in vitro fertilization technique.

How is Egg Freezing Done at The Fertility Center Tijuana?

• Ovarian stimulation. Once the woman has decided to keep her eggs, the specialist will administer hormones to stimulate the ovaries, mature several follicles at the same time and have a greater number of eggs. This process, which lasts about 10 to 12 days, is monitored through a vaginal ultrasound to determine if the necessary follicles are really being obtained and if their number and size is adequate.

• Stimulation of ovulation. Through hormones, the specialist will stimulate ovulation preparing them for later extraction.

• Egg retrieval. The specialist will extract the eggs by means of a puncture to later select the mature eggs.

• The extracted eggs are dipped in a sucrose solution to eliminate the water they contain, preventing crystals from forming during freezing, which can damage the cells.

• Immersion in liquid nitrogen. Once prepared, the eggs are placed in the tube-shaped container and then immersed in liquid nitrogen at -196 ° C (-320 ° F) to freeze them in a matter of seconds.

From the moment the eggs are frozen, they can remain in the laboratory until the woman decides what to do with them; either use them for herself or donate them. When the decision is made to use them for reproductive purposes, the reverse process of devitrification is performed and they are subsequently fertilized with sperm from the partner or from an anonymous donor.

When is Egg Freezing the Optimal Choice?

• Disorders that affect fertility. People suffering from autoimmune diseases, anemia, or experiencing gender diversity situations can freeze their eggs for future use.

• Cancer treatments. Chemotherapy and radiation can affect fertility, so egg freezing gives women facing cancer a chance to get pregnant.

• In vitro fertilization. Some women seeking in vitro fertilization choose to freeze eggs rather than embryos for particular reasons.

• Decision to postpone motherhood. Many women decide to dedicate their youth to their academic and professional preparation, since they do not feel prepared to have children and plan to have a family later.

• In these cases, women should seek egg freezing as soon as possible so that they can obtain the highest quantity and best quality for future use.

How long can eggs they stay frozen?

They can last several years, without a time limit, since they do not “expire” or lose quality with the process.

What is the best age to freeze my eggs and what happens if I have already reached this age?

Since female fertility decreases after 35 years, the ideal is to resort to egg freezing before that age, preferably before 30 since, according to studies, the quality of a frozen egg at 30 years is greater than that of a 35 year old.However, when women freeze their eggs after the age of 35, the success rates of fertilization treatments decrease since the natural stage of hormonal decline has begun.
