Over the past 10 years great advances have been made in the area of cryopreservation. As discussed in regards to embryo cryopreservation, the vitrification method is the method of choice for cryopreservation of oocytes (eggs). There are two significant reasons that a woman may choose to cryopreserve her oocytes.
The process to obtain the oocytes to cryopreserve is straightforward. It is the IVF process except the eggs once collected are not fertilized but rather cryopreserved. The patient then can have the embryology laboratory thaw the eggs in the future and fertilize them with the patient’s sperm choice. Once fertilized the embryos develop as if they were never frozen. Pregnancy outcome data suggest that success rates are similar to traditional IVF.
