Embryo Freezing
Embryo freezing is the preservation, by freezing, of any additional fertilized-eggs (embryos) you produce. These embryos can be thawed out and transferred in the future.
Sperm Banking
We recommend this method of storing sperm for our male patients. You may want to store your sperm before having a vasectomy or cancer treatments. The sperm is frozen and can be thawed out and used in future.
Egg Donation
Egg Donation is when a woman receives eggs from a female donor, which have been fertilized by her partner's sperm in a laboratory dish.
Egg donation may be the only option for some women to have a child, especially in cases where infertility is a result of poor egg quality due to:
- Advancing age
- Poor response to fertility medications
- Previous surgical procedures
- Genetic or medical factors such as chemotherapy treatments
Egg donors remain unknown to the recipient unless other arrangements have been made. Our egg donors go through testing to ensure their suitability - their personal and family medical history is carefully screened to identify genetic or other factors.
