Book Consultation. Egg freezing provides a unique opportunity to prolong your current fertility and enhance your options if you choose to start a family in the future. Over the past decade egg freezing has become a more popular and reliable treatment option and has reached a stage where success rates for fertility treatment using frozen eggs are comparable with those using fresh eggs.
Egg freezing is a frequently used method of fertility preservation. There are several reasons why you may consider freezing your eggs.
Your current life circumstances may not be ideal for you to start a family, you may not have found your ideal partner, you may be pursuing a career or you are not sure whether or not you will want children. Egg freezing means that you can postpone pregnancy but still have the knowledge that you have more healthy eggs available to you in the future.
If you are concerned about the fall in your egg reserve and egg quality with age, then egg freezing offers you the option to retain the current healthy status of your eggs for future use. When you decide to use the eggs at a later juncture, the likelihood of pregnancy will be nearly the same as at the time you chose to freeze your eggs. Some diseases or their treatment, for example, cancers being treated by chemotherapy or radiotherapy, can destroy your eggs or adversely affect your fertility.
In this situation, freezing your eggs offers you the peace of mind that you could still potentially have children at a later date. If you are considering transitioning from biologically female to male, it's worth noting hormone treatments and reconstructive operations can lead to either partial or complete fertility loss.
