• Egg/Oocyte (Freezing) Cryopreservation
• Egg/ Oocyte Freezing has already registered its
  position in the front line of the global
  infertility treatment styles. We SWCIC- the best
  IVF center in Hyderabad India helps you in
  preserving your fertiliy for future through this.
  Go through the details below.
• ASRM GUIDELINE 2013
• Evidence indicates that oocyte vitrification and
  warming should no longer be considered
  experimental Human oocyte cryopreservation (egg
  freezing) is a process in which a womans eggs
  (oocytes) are extracted, frozen and stored.
  Later, when she is ready to become pregnant, the
  eggs can be thawed, fertilized, and transferred
  to the uterus as embryos.
• Oocyte cryopreservation is aimed at three
  particular groups of women
• Women with cancer who have not yet begun
  chemotherapy or radiotherapy (Chemotherapy and
  radiotherapy are toxic for oocytes, leaving few,
  if any, viable eggs. Egg freezing offers women
  with cancer the chance to preserve their eggs so
  that they can have children in the future.)

• Those who would like to preserve their future
  ability to have children, either because they do
  not yet have a partner, or for other personal or
  medical reasons (e.g. Late marriage or having a
  family history of Premature ovarian failure/Early
  menopause (40 yrs.)
• Egg freezing can also be beneficial for women
  who, for the purpose of education, career or
  other reasons, desire to postpone childbearing.
  Freezing eggs at an early age may ensure a chance
  for a future pregnancy.
• PROCEDURE
• The egg retrieval process for oocyte
  cryopreservation is the same as that for in vitro
  fertilization. This includes hormone injections
  that stimulate ovaries to ripen multiple eggs.
  When the eggs are mature, final maturation
  induction is performed, preferably by human
  chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). The eggs are
  subsequently removed from the body by
  transvaginal oocyte retrieval. The procedure is
  usually conducted under sedation. The eggs are
  immediately frozen.

• The egg is the largest cell in the human body and
  contains a high amount of water. When the egg is
  frozen, the ice crystals that form can destroy
  the integrity of the cell. To prevent this, the
  egg must be dehydrated prior to freezing. This is
  done using cryoprotectants which replace most of
  the water within the cell and inhibit the
  formation of ice crystals.
• Eggs (oocytes) are frozen using the newer
  flash-freezing process known as vitrification.
  Vitrification is much faster but requires higher
  concentrations of cryoprotectants to be added.
  The result of vitrification is a solid glass-like
  cell, free of ice crystals.
• Vitrification is associated with higher survival
  rates and better development compared to
  slow-cooling when applied to oocytes in metaphase
  II (MII).
• During the freezing process, the zona pellucida,
  or shell of the egg can be modified preventing
  fertilization. Thus, currently, when eggs are
  thawed, a special fertilization procedure is
  performed by an embryologist called ICSI
  (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) and is also
  used in IVF.
