Oocyte Freezing – Dr. Sravya Buggana

ocyte freezing, also known as egg freezing, is an advanced fertility preservation technique that allows women to store their eggs for future use. Whether due to medical, personal, or career-related reasons, oocyte freezing gives women the flexibility to conceive later while maintaining their reproductive potential.

Dr. Sravya Buggana specializes in fertility preservation, offering state-of-the-art oocyte freezing services to help women take control of their fertility journey.

What is Oocyte Freezing?

Oocyte freezing is a process where a woman’s eggs (oocytes) are retrieved, frozen, and stored for future fertilization. The eggs are preserved at ultra-low temperatures using vitrification, a rapid freezing method that prevents ice crystal formation and ensures higher survival rates when thawed.

Who Should Consider Oocyte Freezing?

✔ Women delaying pregnancy – Ideal for those who want to focus on career, education, or personal goals.
✔ Women with declining ovarian reserve – Recommended for those diagnosed with low AMH or diminished ovarian function.
✔ Cancer patients – Preserves fertility before undergoing chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery that may impact ovarian function.
✔ Women with family history of early menopause – Helps secure reproductive potential before menopause sets in.
✔ Individuals undergoing gender transition – Preserves eggs before hormonal or surgical treatments.
✔ Women undergoing IVF with ethical concerns – Those who prefer to freeze eggs instead of embryos for future use.

Steps in the Oocyte Freezing Process

Dr. Sravya Buggana follows a structured approach to ensure optimal egg quality during the freezing process:

1️⃣ Ovarian Stimulation – Hormonal medications are given to stimulate multiple egg production.
2️⃣ Follicular Monitoring – Regular ultrasounds and blood tests track egg development.
3️⃣ Egg Retrieval (Oocyte Retrieval) – Eggs are collected through a minor surgical procedure under sedation.
4️⃣ Vitrification (Rapid Freezing) – The eggs are flash-frozen using advanced freezing technology.
5️⃣ Long-Term Storage – Frozen eggs are securely stored in specialized fertility laboratories.

Benefits of Oocyte Freezing

  • Preserves fertility for future pregnancy – Allows women to conceive later with their own eggs.
  • Higher success rates at a younger age – Freezing eggs at a younger age improves future IVF success.
  • Protects fertility before medical treatments – Safe for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation.
  • Empowers women with reproductive choices – Provides flexibility in planning pregnancy on their terms

FAQ's

Oocyte freezing, or egg freezing, is a fertility preservation technique where a woman’s eggs are retrieved, frozen using a rapid freezing method (vitrification), and stored for future use. The eggs can later be thawed, fertilized with sperm, and implanted in the uterus via IVF.

Oocyte freezing is ideal for:
✔ Women who want to delay pregnancy for career, education, or personal reasons.
✔ Women diagnosed with low AMH or a declining ovarian reserve.
✔ Cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation.
✔ Women with a family history of early menopause.
✔ Individuals undergoing gender transition.

The best time to freeze eggs is between 25 to 35 years, as younger eggs have higher quality and better success rates when used later for pregnancy.
The number of eggs needed varies based on age and fertility potential. Typically, freezing 10–20 eggs increases the chances of a successful pregnancy in the future.
While egg freezing improves the chances of future pregnancy, it does not guarantee success. Factors like egg quality, sperm quality, and uterine health influence the final outcome.
Egg retrieval is a minor surgical procedure done under sedation or anesthesia, so there is little to no pain. Some mild cramping or bloating may occur after the procedure.
Frozen eggs can be stored indefinitely without losing quality, provided they are kept under optimal cryopreservation conditions. Many women use their eggs even 10–15 years later with success.
No, egg freezing does not impact natural fertility. Women continue to ovulate normally after the procedure and can still conceive naturally if desired.
The oocyte freezing process typically takes 2 to 3 weeks, including ovarian stimulation, monitoring, and egg retrieval.
To begin, schedule a consultation with Dr. Sravya Buggana, who will evaluate your fertility health, explain the process, and customize a fertility preservation plan tailored to your needs.
