Egg vitrification is an assisted reproduction technique that allows a woman’s eggs to be frozen for use in the future. It is an effective and safe way to preserve your fertility, and can be an ideal option for women who want to delay motherhood, or who have fertility problems.
At Clínica Fertia, we have more than 20 years of experience in high-complexity cases and in assisted reproduction treatments such as egg vitrification. At Fertia, we support you throughout the whole process, giving you the confidence and support you need on your journey to motherhood. We help you achieve your dream of becoming a mother, whenever you’re ready.
What is egg vitrification?
It is a procedure that consists of the ultra-rapid freezing of eggs. Vitrifying your eggs is a safe and effective procedure. The survival rate of eggs using this technique in women between 30 and 35 years old is over 95%. The pregnancy rates achieved are the same as those obtained using fresh eggs in an in vitro fertilization cycle, and depend mainly on the woman’s age at the time of vitrification.
Which patients are candidates for egg vitrification?
Egg vitrification can be an option for women of all ages. However, at Clínica Fertia we especially recommend it for women between 30-35 years old who:
- Wish to preserve their fertility.
- Are undergoing cancer treatment.
- Have endometriosis.
- Have ethical or personal reasons.
What is the process like?
One of the questions patients most often ask us at our assisted reproduction clinic in Fuengirola is about the egg vitrification process. At Fertia, all our treatments are transparent and we’ll answer all your questions:
- The patient undergoes an ovarian stimulation treatment so that she produces more eggs.
- Once the eggs are mature, they are retrieved via ovarian puncture.
- Finally, the eggs are vitrified and stored in liquid nitrogen.
Egg vitrification is a safe and effective technique that allows you to preserve your fertility for the future and decide the ideal time to start a family. If you’re thinking about delaying motherhood, or you have fertility problems, egg vitrification could be an ideal option for you. If you’d like to know more, book an appointment at Clínica Fertia.
