First Frozen Egg Pregnancy Achieved in Chattanooga Using the Landa Freezing Method

Friday, September 16th, 2011
Congratulations to the The Fertility Center of Chattanooga for achieving the very first pregnancy in the area from frozen eggs using the proprietary Landa Freezing Method developed at Frozen Egg Bank.

As featured on our blog story in April 2010, we announced The Fertility Center of Chattanooga as our Frozen Egg Bank affiliate in Tennessee. Susan Walker, Senior Embryologist at Chattanooga came to train with our team of scientists. During her visit, Susan learned the art of using the Landa Freezing Technology which has yielded very promising results in the preservation and thawing of human eggs.
 
The Landa Freezing Technology was developed and perfected by David Diaz, MD, FACOG and Antoine La, TS, ELD, EMB to improve the birth rates following egg freezing. Since 2005, we have celebrated the birth of 64 healthy babies from frozen eggs, more than any other program in the United States.
 
"The physicians and embryologist at the Fertility Center partnered with leading experts in oocyte cryopreservation who fine-tuned the freezing process. Now the Fertility Center has confirmation in its own Chattanooga lab for freezing eggs before fertilizing with sperm. As needed, the eggs are thawed and fertilized to create embryos that are then transferred to the uterus for a pregnancy attempt. With this method, fewer extra embryos are created or need to be stored. More and more patients are favoring this option that avoids some of the ethical dilemmas surrounding frozen embryos." -excerpt from TheChattanoogan.com. Read the full story here

The staff at West Coast Fertility Center has been fantastic!! It is a sigh of relief knowing my little eggs are now safe in a freezer until it’s time I decide to have children. I cannot say “thank you” enough to West Coast Fertility Center for their professionalism and care to their patients."  –Yvonne L.

Overlake Reproductive Health in Washington State Joins Our Growing Network of Egg Freezing Centers

Tuesday, April 12th, 2011
Egg Freezing, also known as oocyte cryopreservation, is now a reality in the specialty of reproductive endocrinology and infertility. It has found new applications in women wishing to preserve their fertility for medical indications or personal reasons.
 
Innovative research at West Coast Fertility Centers began to unravel some of the mysteries associated with egg freezing. Since the year 2000, our scientific team has made numerous innovative modifications to special biochemical solutions used to protect the eggs before they can be frozen.
 
As our experience with egg freezing expanded, we noted a more efficient diffusion of the protective freezing fluids into the egg cell. This led to preservation of the egg's vital structures like the chromosomes, the meiotic spindle and the mitochondria. Our frozen egg thaw survival rate rose to 91% compared to 10% with early studies in the 1980's. A research protocol for egg freezing with informed consent was approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB).
 
 
 
Frozen Egg Bank, Inc. is a network of 8 IVF centers located in the U.S. working together to offer egg freezing and thawing services to their patient population using the innovative technique developed by Dr. David Diaz and his team of scientists. To learn more about fertility preservation with egg freezing please visit www.EggFreezing.com
As of April 2011, there have been 62 successful frozen egg births with 8 on-going pregnancies from our Centers.

Why Yvonne Chose Elective Egg Freezing to Preserve Her Fertility

The vitality of human eggs is at its peak during the active years of a woman’s reproductive life (age 15-35 years) making it more likely that a spontaneous pregnancy can occur. However, for a variety of reasons, these years may not coincide with the time frame when a woman chooses to become pregnant. The physical properties that make an egg fertile during youth can now be preserved by freezing a woman’s eggs until such a time when she is ready to initiate her family on terms that are suitable for her.
 

Please call 714-513-1399 to schedule your private consultation with Dr. Diaz to see if egg freezing is right for you.
