Preserving fertility

Oocyte vitrification is the only technique that allows you to preserve your eggs so that they can be fertilized in the future with guarantees of success. Due to its simplicity and excellent results, this fertility preservation technique has been in use in GeneraLife's clinics since 2006.

PRESERVATION

The process from start to finish


Ovarian stimulation

This is the first phase of the method to preserve fertility. It consists of medically inducing multiple ovulation.

Throughout the procedure, our specialists monitor the growth of your follicles via ultrasound. For this, GeneraLife has a team available every day of the year offering extensive opening hours to ensure maximum patient attention.

Moreover, the whole process is fully compatible with your social and work life.


Retrieval

This is a small outpatient intervention lasting approximately 15 minutes, via which we will extract the oocytes that have matured in your ovaries during the previous phase using ultrasound to guide the entire process.

The retrieval is performed in our operating rooms, under mild sedation, which prevents you from feeling any discomfort.


Egg vitrification

Once in our laboratory, your eggs are cryopreserved using the vitrification technique, which consists of very fast cell solidification at low temperatures, preventing ice formations from occurring.

Immediately after vitrification, your eggs are carefully labelled and stored in our nitrogen tanks, where they will remain until required.

Yes. Vitrifying the ovules makes it possible to halt the effects of the passage of time on the female reproductive system. In particular after the age of 35, we tend to see a deterioration that consists in the following:

  • A progressive reduction in fertility due to aging of the ovaries.
  • A progressive reduction in the chances that, if a pregnancy is sustained, it will result in a healthy child.

For this reason, this technique is ideal for women of between 30-35 years old and, depending on their ovarian reserve, it could be considered in individual cases for women up to 40-42 years old.

No problem. Egg vitrification makes it possible to avoid embryo freezing for couples who do not wish to do so due to their beliefs. In this way, the only eggs to be fertilized will be those destined for immediate transfer; the rest of the eggs (rather than embryos) will then be frozen for possible later use.

Yes. Egg freezing is especially indicated for those women who have a low ovarian reserve to increase the chances of pregnancy.
