Social freezing of gametes
Social fertility preservation
Whether for professional reasons, personal life choices, or other circumstances, fertility preservation offers you valuable support and flexibility, allowing you to keep your options open for the future.
What is social freezing?
Social freezing is a procedure that allows women and men to freeze their eggs or sperm, thus preserving the possibility of having children in the future, whenever they wish.
People choose this option for various reasons, often to postpone parenthood due to career, studies, or other personal circumstances.
For women
For men
This technology offers the freedom to plan family life according to individual needs and life circumstances, giving people greater control over their reproductive future.
Why freeze your reproductive cells?
The decision to freeze eggs or sperm can be driven by various reasons, ranging from medical necessities to personal lifestyle choices, thus offering the possibility to plan parenthood according to one’s own aspirations and to start a family at the right time.
Medical reasons
- Cancer treatment: Chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgeries, and other cancer treatments can significantly impact fertility, making egg or sperm freezing a suitable option.
- Autoimmune diseases: Certain autoimmune conditions and their treatments can negatively affect fertility, which may be another reason to freeze reproductive cells.
- Reproductive health issues: Conditions such as endometriosis and uterine fibroids can make conception more difficult, justifying the freezing of eggs.
Personal reasons
- Delaying parenthood: Many people choose to postpone their plans for parenthood, whether for professional reasons, to continue their studies, while waiting to meet the ideal partner, or simply because they do not yet feel ready to become parents.
Thus, the reasons for freezing eggs or sperm are not limited to health issues or major medical treatments. They also include the desire to delay parenthood to focus on career development or finding the right partner.
In summary, freezing eggs or sperm for social reasons offers you the opportunity to plan your parenthood according to your own aspirations, ensuring you can start a family at the right time. If you have any questions or need further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
What is the cost of social freezing?
For women, costs are generally higher due to the need for ovarian stimulation and the egg retrieval process. In contrast, for men, costs are usually lower because sperm collection is less complex.
Additionally, annual storage fees apply to ensure the secure preservation of your reproductive cells.
