Preserving fertility for the future- Freezing eggs

Dr Ashwini Anil Kumar Sirapanasetty
Contd from last Saturday
“We generally recommend intracytoplasmic sperm injection to fertilize eggs because we’ve found natural methods of fertilization aren’t as successful once the eggs have previously been frozen.”
Wondering how long you can keep eggs frozen? Egg freezing has only recently become more widespread. So, if there’s a limit on how long eggs can stay in liquid nitrogen and remain viable.In India, according to current practices, you can freeze eggs through cryopreservation for up to 10 years. While there is technically no limit on how long eggs can be frozen with advanced techniques, most clinics in India consider a storage period of around 10 years to be safe and reliable”However, we’ve been freezing embryos for a long time. We’ve had pregnancies from embryos that were frozen for more than 10 years.” We assume that eggs would behave similarly if frozen. (To be contd)
