Egg Freezing & Fertility in Jaipur & Mumbai

The process to preserve the reproductive potential of a woman is egg freezing. The egg freezing process is termed oocyte cryopreservation. In this, the eggs of the woman are extracted from the ovaries and frozen. These eggs can be used later as they are unfertilized. Women willing to get it done can visit a fertility clinic. It serves as a method to preserve reproductive potential in women of reproductive age. It allows a woman to delay her pregnancy and conceive later.

Types of Egg Freezing

Egg freezing can be broadly categorized into two types:

1. Social Egg Freezing

This refers to freezing eggs for non-medical or personal reasons, such as delaying childbearing due to career, education, or waiting for the right partner.

2. Medical Egg Freezing

This type of egg freezing is recommended when medical conditions may affect fertility. It is often advised for women diagnosed with cancer who are about to undergo chemotherapy or radiotherapy, as these treatments can damage the ovaries. It can also be considered for women with genetic mutations, family history of infertility, or other medical issues impacting reproductive health.

Why Do Women Freeze Their Eggs?

When a female fetus is around 20 weeks, she has around 7-8 million eggs which further drops to 1-2 million at birth. By the time of puberty, the egg count decreases to 300000 eggs. In a lifetime, a woman ovulates 300-400 eggs. However, as the age increases the number of eggs reduces further to 60000 at 40 years of age.

Further, the fertility of women, as well as the quality of eggs, decreases with an increase in age. However, women might want to delay their pregnancy for multiple reasons which can be medical as well as personal.

Egg freezing services serves as a helpful and safe procedure for women who are not planning for pregnancy currently but want to conceive later. Egg freezing at fertility clinic in Mumbai provides them with the chance of being able to conceive in the future or have a biological child. The woman will have to induce ovulation using fertility drugs to be able to produce a number of eggs at the time of retrieval.
