One of the relatively new advances that have occurred in fertility treatment is the freezing of a woman’s eggs so that she can use them later. There are a number of potential benefits of egg freezing in San Antonio TX.
Extends Fertile Period
As women get older, their eggs age and are less likely to result in a pregnancy. Added to that, there are a limited number of total eggs available, so as women age, they have fewer eggs. This makes it so that a woman in her 40s only has about a 5 percent chance of getting pregnant in any given month, compared to a 25 percent chance if that woman was only in her 20s. A young woman who takes advantage of egg freezing in San Antonio TX knows that she will have less cause to worry if she doesn’t find a suitable partner or doesn’t have the time to have a baby right away.
Makes Babies Possible for Women Needing Certain Medical Treatments
Certain medical treatments, such as chemotherapy or radiation, can so damage the eggs that they make women infertile. Freezing some eggs before starting treatment can make it so that there’s a chance for a pregnancy later in life. This is especially important in younger women with this type of health problems.
High Success Rate
People who use frozen eggs to get pregnant tend to have just as high of a success rate with IVF treatment as those that use fresh eggs, as over time this process has improved so that the eggs are less likely to be damaged by the process of freezing, thawing and implanting these eggs. Although not all eggs will survive the process and be able to be fertilized, it’s likely that some will. The success rate tends to go down with women who don’t freeze their eggs until they are already in their 40s, however, so this process tends to be more of an option for women in their 30s or younger women with a medical condition that might otherwise impact their fertility.
They also provide a wide variety of other fertility services.
