Oocyte vitrification (egg freezing)
Some women may not start thinking about having a baby until after the age of 30. One of the most sought-after fertility preservation techniques among modern women is oocyte vitrification, or egg freezing, which offers the unique opportunity of postponing planned motherhood, pregnancy and childbirth until a more suitable time. This method offers an "insurance plan" for those who prefer to carefully plan out their lives and time.
The egg freezing process if recommend for:
women under the age of 38;
for women over 38 years old, we recommend discussing the possibility of the procedure with your doctor;
women diagnosed with cancer;
women scheduled to have radiation or chemotherapy treatments;
women scheduled to have gynaecological surgery on the ovaries;
women who do not have a sexual partner;
women who have a social factor;
women with a genetic predisposition to premature ovarian failure;
Results
Thanks to egg freezing and storage, the probability of pregnancy using frozen eggs for 30 year-old women is as high as 50%, while the success rate drops to around 15% for women in their forties.

Successful egg survival rate after thawing
The age of the woman at the time of implantation of the fertilized egg (embryo) is not a determining factor in the success of pregnancy. The age of the woman at the time of egg retrieval and freezing is crucial.
AVA CLINIC is an innovator
AVA CLINIC was the first clinic in Latvia to offer egg freezing services, meaning its specialists have accumulated extensive experience in this field.
Egg freezing and the IVF process
AVA Clinic also offers the option to freeze eggs resulting from IVF processes, specifically when the partner's sperm is not available or there is insufficient sperm on the day of the egg retrieval procedure.
This procedure is recommended for women aged under 38, but each case is evaluated individually by the attending physician. Thanks to modern freezing technology, the egg damage factor is virtually eliminated.
Procedure
The principles of this procedure closely resemble those of in vitro fertilization. Before any eggs can be retrieved, the female patient undergoes a course of ovarian stimulation, which typically lasts 2-3 weeks. The specific duration will depend on the stimulation protocol selected by the reproductive specialist.
