What Every Woman Should Know Before Egg Freezing
The Experience of the IVF Center performing the egg freezing is critical to success. While egg freezing is a delicate and highly specialized assisted reproductive technology (ART), the handling and thawing of frozen eggs are even more critical. Since the human egg is the largest cell in the body and is composed mostly of water, the formation of ice crystals during the freezing process can disrupt the egg’s internal microscopic contents and its outer membrane and we certainly do NOT want this to happen.
Microscopic Studies of the Eggs before freezing and after thawing have been performed by Dr. David Diaz and his team of scientists. Using our patent-pending LANDA Technology, we have thawed hundreds of frozen eggs making it possible for dozens of women to achieve their dream of having a baby of their own. Egg freezing at West Coast Fertility Center has resulted in the Birth of 62 Healthy Babies with many on-going pregnancies from frozen eggs as of April 2011.
As presented at the annual fertility society meeting, their technique illustrates distinct preservation of the egg’s delicate internal organelles which in turn yields excellent survival rates and a high degree of implantation.
