Egg freezing, also known as oocyte cryopreservation, dey become more popular among women wey wan postpone childbearing. From biological point of view, woman fertility start dey decline significantly after age 35, and by age 40, chances of natural pregnancy reduce to just 5%.
For women wey reach 40 or older, fertility preservation through egg freezing be one good option. This technique allow women freeze their eggs at fertile stage and use them for In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) treatments later in life. Clinics like Tambre Clinic offer advanced techniques for oocyte cryopreservation, ensuring best quality for future fertility treatments.
After age 40, ovarian reserve dey low, meaning fewer and lower-quality eggs available for pregnancy. This increase risk of genetic mutations and aneuploidies like Down syndrome, which can lead to miscarriage or health problems for the baby. To avoid these issues, IVF with Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) be highly recommended. PGD help select genetically healthy embryos before transfer to uterus, improving implantation rates and reducing miscarriage risk.
If woman’s ovarian reserve be too low, oocyte donation be another effective option. This involve using eggs from young donor (usually between 18 to 35 years old) who undergo thorough medical examinations to ensure health. The eggs are then fertilised with sperm from couple or anonymous donor and transferred into uterus, increasing pregnancy success rates and reducing genetic abnormalities.
Genetic compatibility test, or genetic matching, also important in egg donation process. This test help identify genetic diseases linked to X chromosome and check probability of transmitting them to embryo. If necessary, preimplantation genetic test can be performed to ensure only healthy embryos are transferred.
