Information you should know regarding egg freezing

There are some important information you should know regarding egg freezing before considering doing it, including the following:

1- The doctor gives the woman some medications that make the ovaries produce more eggs than usual, and he can monitor this through vaginal ultrasound to follow up on the growth of the egg.

2- The egg is aspirated through a needle from the vagina.

3- The collected eggs are placed with the sperm and preserved in a room with special environmental control.

5- Some suffer from few side effects during this procedure, which may include: fatigue, abdominal pain, chest infection, nausea and headache.

6- This process is usually painless, although the woman may suffer from mild discomfort at some stages, and there may be bruising and slight pain at the injection site, in addition to feeling abdominal cramps, and the egg retrieval process is usually painless, because Pain relievers are given before the operation.

7- Some people may have reactions to the medications given during treatment, such as: vomiting, nausea, difficulty breathing, hot flashes, enlarged ovaries, difficulty sleeping, and abdominal pain.

8- It must be remembered that the mother’s older age at conception is associated with a higher risk of pregnancy complications, such as high blood pressure, diabetes and caesarean section, so most clinics have a maximum age limit.

10- The preservation and freezing of eggs has made great progress over the past few years, with the increase in the total success of embryo births.
