In today’s era, women are seeking for individuality because of getting equal opportunity as men. With the high aspirations, a woman delays their marriage planning as they feel they will get stuck with the other life baggages.
However, here is a need of understanding the female reproductive life; only about 300-400 eggs will be available in the whole life. From the first menses, one egg is released every month. With this statistics, ideally, one should plan a baby by the age of 23-28years.
If woman is career oriented, couldn’t find appropriate life partner, going through any surgery which will affect the reproductive cycle, than doctor will suggest you to opt for oocyte freezing.
First of all, get the AMH (Anti-Mullerian Hormone) tested to know your ovarian reserve. In females, AMH levels are linked to the number of eggs a woman has left (Ovarian reserve). Once you get to know your ovarian reserve, with the help of stimulation protocol, your follicles are aspirated under short general anesthesia, and eggs (oocytes) are frozen in the IVF lab for future use.
Note: During the oocyte freezing cycle, woman has to hospitalize only once at the time of ovum pick up for not more than 4 hours.
