Fertility preservation, or egg cryopreservation (freezing), can offer solutions to a range of ethical, religious, and legal problems related to freezing embryos. With this technique, it is possible to maintain the fertility of women who suffer from pathologies that can compromise ovarian function, such as early ovarian failure, endometriosis, cysts, and pelvic infections. Egg cryopreservation can also facilitate the logistics of egg donation programs.
Egg cryopreservation protocols are already part of our clinic’s routine as they offer excellent survival rates after thawing and good pregnancy rates, as more recent research has shown normal chromosomes and karyotypes after thawing. Using the intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) technique, excellent fertilization and implantation rates were obtained.
Another major advance in Reproductive Medicine is the option of cryopreserving ovarian tissue for women with the aim of auto-transplantation, culturing primordial follicles, or the use of xeno-transplantation techniques to recover eggs with development capacity. This technique is particularly suitable for young cancer patients who wish to preserve their germ cells to avoid potential damage caused by radio or chemotherapy. *
Experimental studies on animals demonstrated that after freezing, thawing and auto-transplantation of fragments of the ovarian cortex, ovulatory cycles could be reestablished as well as fertility. Progress towards maturing frozen and thawed tissue follicles for in vitro fertilization, however, is still progressing slowly.
