Egg vitrification
Preserve your fertility thanks to Egg Vitrification
What does oocyte vitrification consist of?
Nowadays, mainly due to social reasons, women delay motherhood, reducing the possibility of conceiving naturally. The quality and quantity of oocytes decreases considerably after the age of 35, reducing the probability of achieving pregnancy.
Thanks to advances in assisted reproduction, today women can plan the moment of becoming mothers thanks to vitrification, which allows oocytes to be kept frozen for years. When a woman decides to become a mother, they are thawed, and these oocytes retain the quality they had on the day they were frozen.

To preserve fertility, you only need to follow a simple procedure. It consists of performing hormonal stimulation and a follicular puncture for egg retrieval. Subsequently, in the laboratory, the vitrification of these eggs and their storage at -196ºC is carried out, until the decision is made to use them.
Currently, thanks to the good results obtained with vitrification, oocytes can be frozen safely, obtaining very good results after thawing them, with a survival rate of around 94%.
In what cases is egg freezing indicated?
For medical reasons:
- Women diagnosed with cancer who have not yet started chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy treatment.
For personal or social reasons:
- Women who wish to preserve their ability to have children either because they don’t have a partner yet or for personal reasons.
- Women undergoing in vitro fertilization treatment who, for ethical/religious reasons, do not wish to freeze extra embryos.
