An Inclusive Guide on Egg Freezing

Nowadays, it is noticed that people with ovaries are progressively spending their 20s and 30s making up their careers in order to attain proper financial stability. As a result, they are preferring to have kids later in life.

It is necessary for you to know that with age, fertility tends to decline. Although the treatment of egg freezing or embryo freezing in Kenya does not guarantee any kind of future fertility but preserving the quantity and quality of the eggs at a younger age can often provide you more options in life later.

When you undergo the treatment of egg freezing in Africa, fertility preservation is done which involves four different phases including preparation, stimulation & monitoring, egg retrieval as well as the postoperative period.

According to research, it is stated that, if you are 36 and under then you can save at least 14 mature eggs on average, about 10 if you are between the age of 37-39, almost 9 eggs if you are 40-42, and even seven eggs if you are above the age of 43.

Who requires egg freezing?

Egg freezing is often considered for several reasons and some of them are stated below:

• Fertility preservation for social or personal reasons in order to delay childbearing.

• Women suffering from cancer and require chemotherapy or pelvic radiation therapy that can have a great effect on fertility.

• Ovarian disease with chances of damaging to the ovaries

• Genetic mutations that need the removal of the ovaries such as BRCA mutation.

• Surgery that might lead to damage to your ovaries.

• Risk of premature ovarian failure due to chromosomal abnormalities or the family history of early menopause.

How the eggs will be used in the future?

In order to achieve pregnancy, when a woman is ready to use the frozen eggs, the cryopreserved eggs are properly placed in a warming solution as well as evaluated. The eggs that are able to survive the freezing process properly are fertilized with intracytoplasmic sperm injection.

Here a single sperm is injected directly into the egg and then the fertilized eggs start to grow in culture until and unless the embryo is ready to transfer into the uterus in order to attain pregnancy, mainly 3-5 days after fertilization.

What is the success rate of egg freezing?

It is important for you to know that clinical pregnancy rates are estimated between 4-12% per oocyte. However, egg freezing is new due to which more data are required in order to have a better idea of the success rates.

You need to know that the two essential factors in defining the probability of live birth are the woman’s age at the time of egg freezing as well as the number of available eggs.
