Preserving Future Possibilities

Oocyte Freezing at Wish Fertility

At Wish Fertility, we understand that life's journey doesn't always follow a straight path. For women who wish to preserve their fertility and have the option to conceive in the future, oocyte freezing, also known as egg freezing, is a revolutionary fertility preservation technique. Our skilled team of fertility specialists is proud to offer this transformative procedure, empowering women to take control of their reproductive future and providing hope for the realization of their family-building dreams.

What is Oocyte Freezing?

Oocyte freezing is an advanced fertility preservation technique that allows women to preserve their eggs at a young and fertile age for use in the future when they are ready to conceive. The procedure involves the retrieval and cryopreservation (freezing) of a woman's eggs, which are then stored until she is ready to use them for in vitro fertilization (IVF) and pregnancy.

Why Consider Oocyte Freezing?

There are various scenarios in which women may consider oocyte freezing

1. Delaying Childbearing
For women who want to focus on their careers, education, or other life goals, oocyte freezing offers the option to preserve their fertility potential and delay childbearing to a later stage in life.
2. Medical Reasons
Certain medical conditions or treatments, such as cancer or other illnesses, may compromise fertility. Oocyte freezing allows women to safeguard their eggs before undergoing medical procedures that may affect their reproductive health.
3. Family-Building Choice
Some women may wish to freeze their eggs as a proactive step in their family-planning journey, ensuring they have the flexibility to start a family when the time is right for them.

The Oocyte Freezing Process

1. Ovarian Stimulation
The oocyte freezing process begins with ovarian stimulation. Women undergo a series of fertility medications to encourage the ovaries to produce multiple mature eggs, instead of the usual single egg released during a natural menstrual cycle.
2. Egg Retrieval
Once the eggs have reached the appropriate size and maturity, a minor surgical procedure called egg retrieval is performed. Using ultrasound guidance, our experienced fertility specialists gently collect the eggs from the ovaries.
3. Cryopreservation
After retrieval, the eggs are carefully prepared and cryopreserved through a process called vitrification. Vitrification is a rapid freezing technique that minimizes the formation of ice crystals and maximizes the chance of survival when the eggs are thawed in the future.
4. Storage
The frozen eggs are stored in our state-of-the-art cryopreservation facility, where they can remain viable and preserved for many years.
5. Future Fertility Treatment
When a woman is ready to conceive, the frozen eggs can be thawed, and in vitro fertilization (IVF) is performed using the partner's or donor's sperm. The resulting embryos are then transferred into the woman's uterus for potential implantation and pregnancy.
