Fertility Preservation
Egg Freezing
Increasing numbers of well-informed women today recognise their innate need to have babies (someday in the future), while wanting to make that climb up the career ladder. Egg freezing gives you this option to go on with your life’s pursues while halting your biological clock.If you are a single women who have yet to find your life partner, or intend to use a sperm donor when you are ready, freezing your eggs allows you wider choices without the pressure of time.
If you are faced with a natural or premature onset of low egg reserve, freezing your eggs is the way to go if you want to be pregnant in the unforeseeable future. Eggs kept in cryopreservation state retain their quality and are unaffected by time. Therefore, it is important that by understanding our fertility state early in life allows us more fertility choices in the future. Women in their 20’s should be encouraged to have their ovarian reserve measured through a simple Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) blood test.
Modern medicine has been able to increase the survival rate of patients battling life-threatening diseases and even cancer. However, some of these treatment may affect or even render affected patients' ovaries obsolete, jeopardising their future fertility. Egg freezing allows women to have their eggs frozen in order for them to carry on building their fertility goals after overcoming serious health conditions.
Sperm Freezing
If work or travel commitment gets in the way of your IVF/IUI treatment, having your sperm frozen for use when the time comes can be convenient.
Before commencing treatment for cancer or inevitable vasectomy, your sperm sample can be kept to father babies in the future.
If your work is dangerous and can potentially render you sterile, or if you have hobbies such as contact/extreme sports, keeping your sperm as an insurance for the future can be a good idea.
Ovarian Tissue Freezing
Before treatment, the ovary layer which contains egg-producing tissues are removed, frozen and stored until your medical treatment has been completed and when you like to carry on with your fertility goals.
