Oocytes Cryopreservation in Ukraine

The progress of modern technology makes the procedure of rapid freezing/thawing of cells – the so-called vitrification – possible.

Technology

Freezing or vitrification of oocytes is a procedure for the termination of all biological processes by rapid freezing, which minimizes the possibility of cell damage. After this, the cells can be kept for a long time in liquid nitrogen at low temperatures.

For whom is oocytes cryopreservation recommended?

For women who would like to maintain their childbearing potential in the future, oocyte cryopreservation may be the only solution.

Indications for vitrification of oocytes are as follows:

a tendency to early menopause in the family. Oocyte cryopreservation will save cells before menopause
diagnosed cancer. Oocyte cryopreservation will keep cells before surgery or chemotherapy, or radiation therapy
desire to postpone pregnancy – due to education, making a career, or other circumstances

The IVF program with vitrified oocytes will make it possible for you to plan your pregnancy, preventing the birth of a child with a pathology.

How is it done?

The IVF program with vitrified oocytes is similar to the artificial insemination program up to the stage of direct fertilization.

It includes medical examination, preparation stage, taking hormonal drugs, and the procedure for obtaining oocytes.

Such a program takes from two to three weeks to a month and a half, during which you will have to take hormonal drugs.

You will be invited to the clinic on the scheduled day for a follicle puncture in order to receive oocytes that will be frozen by vitrification.

After the procedure, you will be able to go back to your usual life almost at once. Obtaining and freezing oocytes itself will not affect your reproductive function.

What happens next?

As soon as you decide on pregnancy planning and the use of cryopreserved embryos, you will have to contact the clinic for hormonal preparations (within a few weeks) of your body for the future embryo transfer.

On the scheduled day, all or several oocytes will be thawed, the following stages repeat the program of artificial insemination from the moment of fertilization: sperm production, fertilization of oocytes, and embryo transfer.

It is possible to use donor sperm.

FAQ

How long can we store cryopreserved oocytes?

Oocyte samples have unlimited storage life. A completely healthy baby can be born after decades of cell storage. The age of the woman at the time of cryopreservation is much more important than the duration of storage of the embryos, as it affects their quality.

At what age is it better to cryopreserve oocytes?

There are no specific recommendations. However, most fertility specialists will advise to freeze the cells at the age between 30 and 35, in case you are not planning any pregnancy in the short term. After 35, the quality of oocytes decreases.

What is the success rate?

With the development of vitrification technology, the success of pregnancy almost equaled the results of the IVF programs using “fresh” cells. Nevertheless, the presence of cryopreserved oocytes should not give you absolute confidence that pregnancy and childbirth will be achieved anyway. Cell freezing is an “insurance” against unforeseen situations and does not imply that it will be an absolute replacement for spontaneous conception.
