All you need to know about Oocyte Vitrification

Egg freezing among women has become a lot more common these days. Women usually choose this process so that they can plan for children in the near future. Egg freezing which is Clinically known as Oocyte Vitrfication  is a process in which a woman’s Oocytes will be collected by a procedure known as oocyte retrieval and will be kept in a safe, secured, and healthy environment in a specially designed lab for usage in the future. 

An Overview of the process of Egg Freezing

Fertility consultants usually need to know the quality of eggs and ovarian reserve to have an understanding about  the number of eggs that might be available to be frozen . Women who are aged between 30 to 35 years usually have a higher ovarian reserve so they can expect a higher number of eggs to be frozen on average.

Women between the age of 35 to 40 will have lesser ovarian Reserve,so can expect comparitively lesser number of eggs to be frozen. 

After 40 years the Ovarian reserve as well as quality declines rapidly. Hence the best time to have your oocytes frozen would be between the age of 25 to 35.

The oocyte Retrieval procedure is a Day care procedure and does not require prolonged hospitalisation. The procedure is done under General Anaesthesia and takes between 15 to 20 minutes on average .Once the eggs are been extracted from the woman they will be frozen at -96 degree celcius in liquid nitrogen container after the necessary processing by the Embryologist in an IVF laboratory
