Goral Gandhi: India’s leading Embryologist with over 25 years of experience in the field of IVF and Assisted Reproductive Techniques.

In the years before menopause, a woman’s fertility declines.“Considering these ironies of woman anatomy and the changing landscape of the society toward a more goal and career-oriented woman, I wanted to share my thoughts about 3 distinctive categories of Women who certainly should consider opting for the “Egg Freezing Procedure.”Egg Freezing is a process in which a woman’s eggs (oocytes) are extracted, frozen and stored as a method to preserve reproductive potential in women of reproductive age.

This scientifically proven and much adopted worldwide method has advanced greatly over the past few years, with the improved overall success of eggs surviving the freezing process.

A few years back, big conglomerates of the World – Facebook and Apple announced their decision to offer to pay for female employees to freeze their eggs, in theory, allowing women to ‘have it all’ – to pursue their career aspirations and to have biologically related ‘children’.The Single Woman:Ms. A is a single woman, born to liberal-minded parents who not only encouraged her to get a great education but also never enforced upon her to get married or settled solely based on her advancing age.

In that scenario, if she hopes to wait out for her knight in shining armor to enter her life at one point, she cannot magically stop the time or her biological clock from ticking away.As a larger proportion of women, if she harbors a desire of having kids one day, but also waiting for the right man then she stands to be the perfect candidate to opt for Egg Freezing procedure.

She is that workaholic type-A woman focused on her career and has no time for Motherhood at this peak of her career.

By 2000, that age had risen to almost 25, and by 2020, the average woman waits until the age of 26 to have her first child.Although society may be changing by leaps and bounds year after year, the biological realities of fertility remain the same.

However, deep down between the college sweethearts is also a dream to have a child; after all, they both are working hard to earn money and provide financial security for their future child.

She visited at the Indo Nippon IVF and consulted the doctors here for the IVF procedure, but all was in vain.

She went for the IVF procedure many times but every time, after she conceives, preterm delivery is the result and the babies are not able to survive.

You can witness that the Pre-Implantation Genetic Diagnosis famously known as PGD have a big part to play in the success story of Mrs. B.

Now, it’s our absolute duty to let you know more about this brilliant technology.PGD is referred to one or both parents when they are known to have some kind of genetic abnormality.

But we have to take them instead of waiting for when the accurate cure for the problem will be available.

The advantages are mentioned below.It’s a great alternative for prenatal diagnostic testing: A lot of couples now opt for it to avoid the distress which is closely associated with the diagnosis.An alternative for termination of pregnancy: If a genetic abnormality is found while parental testing, the parents have very limited options.

There are many fertility clinics in the world that possess more than 30 year old frozen embryos.

The first child born using the technology was in Australia.

The human egg is not very big as a cell but certainly contains a good amount of water and the ice crystals were causing cryo damage to the egg.

Then, after thawing and being combined with sperm, the egg is running the risk of poor fertilization as the outer shell of the egg is hardened during the whole process of freezing.The whole system changed in the year 2012 when a new flash-freeze process with the name vitrification is introduced.

Previously the embryos were frozen using a much slower process but the whole concept has changed in the recent years.The whole egg freezing process is to help women get the same freedom which men enjoyed for many years having the ability to preserve their fertility.

Majorly if a woman suffering from cancer wants to store her fertility before going through chemo, she can do it now.Now women are more aware and are considering the egg freezing process for a personal as well as social reasons.
