Oocyte Cryopreservation at IVF Mitosis Clinic – A Step Towards Future Fertility
At IVF Mitosis Clinic, we believe in providing comprehensive fertility care that empowers women to take control of their reproductive future. Oocyte cryopreservation (egg freezing) is a highly advanced and increasingly popular option for women who wish to preserve their fertility for the future. Whether due to personal, medical, or professional reasons, freezing your eggs today allows you to have more control over your reproductive timeline tomorrow.
Why is Freezing Your Oocytes Important?
- Preserve Fertility for Later Life: As women age, the quantity and quality of their eggs naturally decline, which can lead to challenges when trying to conceive. Freezing your eggs at a younger age (typically in your 20s or early 30s) allows you to preserve your eggs at their optimal quality for future use, when you may be ready to have children.
- Medical Reasons: Certain medical treatments, such as chemotherapy or radiation, can damage the ovaries and significantly affect fertility. If you are about to undergo such treatments, freezing your eggs before starting is a crucial step in preserving your ability to have biological children later.
- Career or Lifestyle Decisions: Many women today are choosing to focus on their careers, travel, or other personal goals before starting a family. Oocyte cryopreservation gives you the flexibility to delay childbearing without compromising your fertility.
- Fertility Preservation for Personal Peace of Mind: For those concerned about the possibility of early fertility decline, egg freezing provides peace of mind. Even if you are not ready to start a family now, preserving your eggs ensures you have options in the future.
Greek Law on Oocyte Cryopreservation
In Greece, the law surrounding assisted reproduction ensures that oocyte cryopreservation is a safe and regulated process. According to the Greek Law on Assisted Reproduction (Law 3305/2005), women can freeze their eggs for non-medical reasons (such as delaying motherhood) as long as they are under the age of 54. This legislation provides clear guidelines that protect the interests of the patient while adhering to ethical standards in fertility treatment.
Under Greek law, egg freezing is allowed for the following purposes:
- Medical indications: Preserving fertility before undergoing treatments like chemotherapy or radiation.
- Social reasons: Women who wish to delay childbearing and preserve their fertility for future use.
- Donor oocytes: Egg freezing is also part of the process for egg donation programs.
This regulatory framework ensures that your eggs are frozen and stored in compliance with the highest ethical standards and under strict medical protocols, giving you confidence and peace of mind.
