6 Facts You Need to Know About Egg Freezing
Improving Your Fertility

• Deferring childbearing from twenties until late
  thirties or forties is alluring for women driven
  by their career, even beyond motherhood. In
  October 2014, Facebook and Apple made a public
  statement that they will pay for elective egg
  freezing for female employees. While there are
  other companies too in the West, which are
  covering the cost of elective egg freezing,
  Indian organizations and Indians haven't yet
  embraced the concept.

1. What are the benefits of egg preservation?

• A large number of women are fiercely
  career-oriented and are postponing marriage and
  consequently childbirth. Once you are ready to
  start your family, in yours 30s, you can use
  these preserved eggs.
• Early preservation is beneficial. Age is
  important because eggs start growing old in your
  30s. Also, fertility declines with age. It is
  advisable to not freeze eggs if you are 35.
• Abnormalities happen when someone preserves eggs
  at the age of 35 or 36 and uses them later the
  eggs are old by then.
• The number of eggs is genetically fixed at birth.
  From the time of puberty till the age of 35, eggs
  start depleting with time. Girls should take the
  Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) test to detect
  fertility. The AMH test measures the ovarian
  reserve' and identifies if a woman has fertility
  lower than expected for her age.

2. For how long can the Eggs remain Frozen?

• Frozen or cryo-preserved eggs are stored at -196
  degrees, so there is no deterioration in the
  quality of eggs, with time. Healthy babies are
  born from eggs frozen for eight to 10 years also.
• Eggs cannot be frozen just before menopause
  because it will not guarantee good quality eggs,
  since you have crossed your prime.
• A lot of Indians haven't yet accepted IVF, so the
  concept of egg freezing is still a distant dream.
  Parents believe that freezing eggs will result in
  an abnormal child. But this is a possibility only
  if eggs are frozen after the age of 35

3. How many Eggs does one need to store to
achieve Pregnancy?

• If your eggs are frozen in your 20s, chances of
  getting good quality eggs are higher-about 15 to
  25 per cent. From these, about three to four eggs
  will be required to produce a baby.
• But if the eggs are frozen in your late 30s, the
  number of eggs collected will be less, may be
  less than 10. However, these women need more than
  that (approximately 20 to 25 eggs) to get
  pregnant as many of these eggs will be damaged
  during the procedure of thawing.

4. What is the Egg Freezing Procedure?

• During the freezing procedure the water inside
  the eggs is dehydrated and replaced with
  anti-freeze in order to prevent ice-crystal
  formation. The shell of the egg usually hardens
  with freezing so sperms are injected with needle
  to fertilize these eggs using a standard
  procedure called ICSI.
• Eggs are frozen using either slow freeze method
  or flash freezing process known as vitrification.
  Currently, vitrification is the method of choice
  for egg freezing as it causes less damage to
  eggs.
• According to new guidelines, pregnancy rates were
  similar with fresh eggs and with eggs frozen by
  newer method of vitrification.

5. What is the recommended diet for healthy
fertility?

• A diet rich in antioxidants helps maintain
  fertility.
• You should have five to six almonds and one to
  two walnuts every day. The Omega-3 fatty acids in
  these dry fruits helps in building good hormones.
  These dry fruits are particularly good if you are
  planning pregnancy.
• Eat vegetables and foods that are rich in Vitamin
  E, such as tomatoes, which can reduce the body
  toxins.
• Avoid junk and fried food as they contain free
  radicals that damage your hormones. It can result
  in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), which
  affects fertility and pregnancy.
• A good night's sleep is part of the diet. Stress
  and insomnia have a direct impact on hormones and
  affect the ovaries.
• Exercise regularly and eat healthy foods.
