Egg Freezing for Fertility Preservation
Egg Freezing to battle the biologic clock.
Are you a young woman still waiting for the right life partner to come along? Are you concerned you may have issues becoming pregnant as you become older, but are not ready to have a child at this time in your life and would like to preserve your fertility? Utilizing our exemplary egg harvesting and freezing by vitrification technologies may be the option for you. Egg cryopreservation is one of our specialties and our Michigan Egg Bank is actually one of the first and few egg banks nationwide. Egg cryopreservation allows you the ability to preserve your eggs at a stage in your life where the eggs are of better quality and then be used for later use. It is well documented that through a woman’s reproductive years her egg reserve experiences a rate of attrition. Unlike men who produce sperm in average 90 day cycles, we women have all the eggs we are going to ever have in the highest amount when we are 5 month old fetuses in our mother’s womb!! That’s right, ladies….it is all downhill from there…In other words, as we age our eggs supply not only becomes smaller; but, the quality of the eggs that are available decreases. Our body chooses to ovulate the most healthy eggs first. So, not only do we have less eggs available later in our reproductive years, the chance that these eggs we do have left will make a healthy baby is also less. The joys of being a woman!! If you are interested in preserving your fertility, assessing the current state of your fertility, or just have questions about the process and if it is the right choice for you…. please feel free to call us and set up a consultation with one of our awesome physicians who can answer all of your questions.
