Cryopreservation of Ovocytes

Women can preserve their fertility through a freezing technique that ensures good oocyte survival rates for future use – vitrification.
For this, they must undergo ovarian stimulation and follicular puncture.

This may be a fertility-preserving option in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy treatments, which can deplete the follicular reserve.

Vitrification of oocytes may still be used in women who undergo IVF or ICSI treatments achieve a high number of good-quality oocytes but do not intend to cryopreserve embryos.

There are more and more women who want to postpone maternity for personal or professional reasons and who preserve their fertility by freezing their oocytes.

Ideally, this technique should be performed before the age of 35 years.
