Clinical

Since 2004, our IVF pregnancy rates in women with endometriosis younger than 35 are upwards of 50%. We also have had pregnancies and babies delivered from unfertilized cryo-preserved eggs. This offers women with endometriosis a chance for cryopreservation and storage of their eggs until they are ready to start a family.

Why Egg Freezing is Beneficial

Women with rapidly progressing endometriosis who are not in position to begin their families may benefit from cryopreservation of eggs for future fertilization and pregnancy.

Many women have unfertilized eggs cryopreserved and stored with a modified technique. The eggs were then thawed and fertilized and the resulting embryos were transferred.

This approach offers women with endometriosis, career women who wish to delay childbirth, couples troubled by freezing embryos, and for those facing treatments that will affect their fertility a chance for cryopreservation and storage of their eggs until they are ready to start a family.
