A survey on the intentions and attitudes towards oocyte cryopreservation for non-medical reasons among women of reproductive age.
BACKGROUND Although cryopreservation of semen is a routine procedure for preserving male gametes, an efficient method of preserving fertility through oocyte freezing has only recently become available for women. In view of the limited female reproductive lifespan, oocyte freezing can now offer women some protection against the decline in fertility with aging. METHODS A survey was performed in...
متن کاملTheoretical considerations for oocyte cryopreservation by freezing Introduction
Attempts to cryopreserve oocytes by freezing have, to date, been based mostly on empirical approaches rather than on basic principles, and perhaps in part for this reason have not been very successful. Theoretical considerations suggest some fairly ‘heretical’ conclusions. The concentrations of permeating cryoprotectants employed in past studies have probably been inadequate, and the choice of ...

متن کاملHuman oocyte cryopreservation: 5-year experience with a sodium-depleted slow freezing method.
A slow freezing/rapid thawing method for the cryopreservation of human oocytes has been employed using a sodium-depleted culture media. In 53 frozen egg-embryo transfer (FEET) cycles, a 60.4% survival rate post-thaw was obtained and a 62.0% fertilization rate following intracytoplasmic sperm injection. Overall pregnancy rates were 26.4% per thaw attempt, 30.4% per patient, and 32.6% per embryo ...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Fast Freezing Method in Cryopreservation of Human Ovarian Tissue for Oocyte Viability
The evaluation of the fast freezing method as an option for fertility maintenance, after long-term human ovarian tissue cryopreservation. Samples were obtained from premenopausal women, who have had children, who were undergoing gynecologic surgery. The samples were cryopreserved for six years. Subsequently, were thawed and examined for the presence of oocytes and were immunohistochemically eva...
