Freezing eggs, sperm, or embryos allows you to put your fertility on hold for personal or medical reasons such as an upcoming cancer treatment that can harm healthy eggs or sperm.

Freezing instantly preserves eggs, sperm, or embryos, shielding them from any further damage or ageing. They can remain safely in this frozen state for a number of years or even decades until you are ready to use them.

Common Reasons to Consider are:

• Delaying parenthood for job, education, or personal pursuits

• Medical Procedures that can affect fertility

• Reduced Sperm Quality or Low Ovarian Reserve

• Other medical conditions

Medical conditions, including but not limited to endometriosis, autoimmune diseases, and genetic disorders, can have an impact on fertility. The chances of risks can be reduced, and the potential for biological parenthood secured, with fertility preservation and early consultation.

Over time, both egg quality and quantity decline, particularly around age 35. While freezing up until the age of 38 still produces significant results, freezing in your 20s or early 30s delivers greater success.

Ovarian stimulation: 10–12 days of hormone injections

Retrieving eggs: a minor procedure with mild anaesthesia

Vitrification: Mature eggs are flash-frozen quickly for storage.

These eggs, when needed, can be thawed and then fertilized by using IVF and then transferred.

Freezing sperm is a quick, non-invasive, highly efficient method:

Men provide a sample of their semen.

It is examined, frozen, and stored in liquid nitrogen.

Perfect for anyone undergoing testosterone therapy, vasectomy, cancer treatment, or wishing to ensure future fertility.

For women, egg freezing can have a number of advantages:

• When they're ready, women can extend their window of opportunity for conception.

• Gives a woman more control over her reproductive choices in accordance with her personal and professional objectives.

• Gives women enough time to select the ideal mate and minimises their fear of decreased fertility as they age.

• Helps in preserving eggs when a woman undergoing medical therapy.

• Lowers the chance of pregnancy-related problems like miscarriages, etc.

Men can benefit from freezing their sperm in the following ways:

• Helps maintain the likelihood of becoming a parent.

• Enables the preservation of a man's fertility for future use or sperm donation.
