Freezing the mother-to-be's eggs is a technique that preserves female fertility. Sometimes it is necessary to use this technique because the woman is going to undergo an aggressive medical treatment which may cause sterility, such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or surgery to ovaries. Due to personal reasons, the woman can delay motherhood. For instance, she can be waiting to find her significant other.
Increasing the effectiveness
When many mature eggs are frozen, the treatment effectiveness will be substantially increased. For this reason, in Cefer we administer a hormone treatment before the extraction, which will be performed without hospitalization, lasting from 10 to 20 minutes.
Freezing length
The eggs can be in the freezer for years, until the woman decides to start the treatment. Then the eggs can be defrosted, fertilised with the sperm from her partner or from an anonymous donor, and transferred to the uterus.
