It is an undeniable fact that the age of motherhood is being postponed to later ages due to reasons such as education, academic life and business life. In addition, some diseases and low egg reserve also bring the risk of early loss of reproductive function. In women who have to postpone or delay their pregnancy plan, freezing and storing eggs is a very important advantage in terms of preserving fertility. Because frozen eggs mean preserving the pregnancy rate of the age when the eggs were frozen despite the advanced age. For example, when a 43-year-old woman freezes her eggs at the age of 37, it means that she can preserve a much higher chance of pregnancy with the IVF success rate of the age of 37.
TO WHOM IS EGG FREEZING RECOMMENDED?
Women of all ages with low ovarian reserve
Women aged 37 and over with normal ovarian reserve
Women scheduled for chemotherapy and radiotherapy (before treatment)
Patients scheduled for ovarian surgery (before surgery)
Some chocolate cyst (endometriosis) patients
Women with a family history of early menopause
It is very important for the eggs to be treated by an experienced physician and stored frozen under high laboratory quality conditions in order to be used successfully in the future.
According to the compilation of meta-analyses published in the USA in recent years,
the rate of patients using their frozen eggs is
10.8%.
The rate of live return when frozen eggs are thawed is 81.4%
. The pregnancy rate is 44.4%
on average. The clinical pregnancy (ongoing pregnancy) rate is 34.2%
. The live birth rate for all age groups has been reported as 28.9% . We believe that the stated rates and the success rates in IVF in general, i.e. pregnancy rates, are much higher in our country with advanced laboratory conditions and good clinics.
