Understanding Fertility Preservation


Fertility preservation involves safeguarding your ability to have children in the future. This can be particularly important for individuals facing medical treatments that may affect fertility, or for those who wish to delay parenthood for personal or professional reasons. At Shishu IVF Fertility Centre, we provide comprehensive information about fertility preservation, its processes, and how it can help you plan for your future. We are proud to be one of the best IVF centers in Bangalore, offering expert guidance and support every step of the way.

The Fertility Preservation Process

1. Initial Consultation:

The process begins with a thorough consultation to discuss your medical history, reasons for fertility preservation, and the available options. Our specialists will guide you through the entire process, addressing any questions or concerns you may have.

2. Ovarian Stimulation (for egg preservation):

Hormonal medications are administered to stimulate the ovaries, increasing the number of eggs available for retrieval. This phase is closely monitored through blood tests and ultrasound examinations to track follicle development.

3. Egg Retrieval (for egg preservation):

Once the follicles have matured, a minor surgical procedure called egg retrieval is performed under ultrasound guidance. A thin needle is used to extract the eggs from the ovaries, usually under sedation.

4. Sperm Collection (for sperm preservation):

A semen sample is collected from the male partner or donor. The sperm is then processed and prepared for freezing.

5. Freezing and Storage:

The retrieved eggs or sperm are frozen using advanced cryopreservation techniques and stored in our secure facility. For embryos, the eggs and sperm are combined in a laboratory dish for fertilization before freezing the resulting embryos.

6. Long-term Storage:

The preserved eggs, sperm, or embryos are stored in our state-of-the-art facility for future use. They can be thawed and used in assisted reproductive treatments when you are ready to start your family.
