OOCYTE DONATION

OOCYTE DONATION

Oocyte freezing or Egg freezing or Oocyte vitrification or Oocyte cryopreservation, is a method used to preserve the reproductive potential in women. Eggs are harvested from your ovaries, frozen unfertilized and stored for later use. A frozen egg can be thawed, combined with sperm in a lab and fertized to form an embryo , which can then be transferred into your uterus. Oocyte donation involves egg retrieval from the donor, insemination with semen of the recipient's husband, and in vitro culture and transfer of cleaved embryos.
