Egg Cryopreservation – Fertility Preservation

Modern lifestyles, career choices, and personal priorities are leading many women to postpone motherhood until later in life. However, fertility is directly linked to the quality and quantity of eggs, which naturally decline over time.

Egg cryopreservation offers a woman the opportunity to preserve her eggs at their current biological age.
In other words, it allows the body to continue its course in time, without losing the reproductive opportunity.

So, when the woman decides she is ready to become a mother, the eggs that will be used reflect the quality of the age at which they were frozen — and not the age she is now.

Why should a woman choose cryopreservation?

The method is a choice:

  • For social and personal reasons, when motherhood is not an immediate priority.

  • For medical reasons, before treatments such as:

    • Chemotherapy

    • Radiotherapy

    • Treatments that affect the ovaries or fertility

In these cases, egg cryopreservation acts as a protective measure, preserving the possibility of childbearing in the future.

What is the ideal time frame?

The effectiveness of the method is related to age:

  • At the ages of 20–30 years, egg quality is highest.

  • After 35 years, fertility decreases more noticeably.

  • After 40, the likelihood of spontaneous conception decreases significantly.

Cryopreservation provides the ability to “preserve” a woman's reproductive potential in the present, so that the future remains open.
