About the egg freezing method<\/span><\/h1>\n

THE freezing of embryos<\/strong> is a process that has been applied for a long time in fertility treatments<\/strong> and a laboratory technique that has been extensively studied. THE freezing of eggs<\/strong> is a more complicated process than freezing the embryos, because the egg is large and the unique genetic information<\/strong> it contains are more fragile than those of a fetus. Thanks to the extensive development work on freezing methods, in vitro fertilization treatments with frozen eggs<\/strong> are now offered regularly.<\/span><\/p>\n

THE freezing of eggs<\/strong> is not a "nuclear physics science", but requires dedicated efforts from the fertility treatment laboratory and continuous updating of skills to ensure a high level of treatment results. The freezing method used is called vitrification<\/strong>. It includes the use of protective agents to prevent the formation of ice crystals, which are harmful to cells, and the excessive freezing of eggs in liquid nitrogen in temperature -196 \u00b0 Celsius<\/strong>. The eggs are then stored at this temperature in a state of metabolic disruption. The duration of the storage period does not affect the final result of the treatments.<\/span><\/p>\n

Egg freezing - how is it done?<\/span><\/h2>\n

THE egg freezing<\/strong> requires about two weeks hormone therapy<\/strong> and egg retrieval, as well as in vitro fertilization. The first step is a doctor to examine the function of the ovaries<\/strong> of the woman and her ovarian reserve. The doctor Dr. Alexandros Traianos<\/strong> will also explain in detail the various stages involved in egg freezing<\/strong>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What happens when a woman wants to use her frozen eggs?<\/span><\/h3>\n

The woman will meet him Dr. Alexandros Trajan<\/strong> together with her partner. Frozen eggs will also thaw will be fertilized<\/strong> with the partner's sperm<\/strong>. If fertilization and fetal development are successful, the fetus is transferred to the uterus<\/strong> within 2-5 days of fertilization. It is also possible for individual cases, women to use their frozen eggs<\/strong>, so you will need donor sperm<\/strong> from a sperm bank. The fetus can be transferred within the menstrual cycle<\/strong> which works well in the woman, but is usually required hormone therapy<\/strong> to prepare the uterus for pregnancy<\/strong>. Similar to in vitro fertilization, any extra good quality embryos can be frozen for future use.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What are the chances of getting pregnant?<\/span><\/h3>\n

The biggest success factors of this treatment are the age of the woman and how well her ovaries are functioning at the time of freezing. In clinics where egg freezing is a standard practice, the results are comparable to the results of in vitro fertilization treatments<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Center for Reproductive Medicine and Fetal Medicine '' Dr. Alexandros Traianos ''<\/strong><\/a> has carried out a number of fertility treatments<\/strong> through egg cryopreservation from the summer of 2015<\/strong>. Based on the treatments performed, the results of the treatment are estimated are similar to the respective treatments<\/strong> using fresh eggs. Of course, it is important to remember that we can not guarantee pregnancy or birth with certainty, even with egg cryopreservation.<\/span><\/p>\n

What should I do next if I want to know more about egg freezing?<\/span><\/h3>\n
