Keep Your Options Open with Egg Freezing
Life throws us curveballs. Sometimes, the dream of starting a family gets put on hold for various reasons. Maybe you’re focusing on your career, haven’t found the right partner, or have medical concerns that could impact your future fertility. Dr Daniel Lantsberg offers egg freezing in East Melbourne as a way to preserve your fertility and keep your future options open. This advanced procedure empowers you to take control of your reproductive health and plan your family on your terms.
What is Egg Freezing?
Egg freezing is a process that allows women to preserve their eggs at a younger age, when they are most viable, for use in the future. The eggs are carefully extracted, frozen, and stored, offering a chance to achieve pregnancy later in life when you are ready. This technique is particularly beneficial for women facing medical treatments that may affect their fertility or those who want to delay childbirth for personal or professional reasons.
Egg Freezing Success Rates
When considering medical egg freezing, understanding success rates is crucial for making informed decisions about your fertility. Success rates can vary based on several factors, with age being a significant determinant. Generally, younger women tend to have higher success rates due to the quality of their eggs.
For instance, statistics show that egg-freezing success rates are typically around 80-90% for women under 35. As women age, the success rates gradually decrease, with approximately 70% success for women aged 35-37 and around 50% or lower for women over 38.
These figures highlight the importance of freezing eggs at a younger age to maximise the chances of a successful pregnancy. Dr. Daniel Lantsberg can provide personalised insights based on your specific circumstances, helping you understand how egg freezing may benefit your reproductive goals.
If you’re considering egg freezing in East Melbourne, schedule your consultation with Dr. Lantsberg, who will provide you with detailed information about your individual chances based on your unique circumstances.
When to Freeze Your Eggs
Deciding when to freeze your eggs is a personal choice, but it’s often recommended to do so before the age of 35 for optimal results. Women undergoing medical treatments, such as chemotherapy, that may impact their fertility should also consider egg freezing as soon as possible. Consulting with Dr Daniel Lantsberg in East Melbourne can help you determine the best timing based on your health and future plans.
Risks of Egg Freezing
While egg freezing is generally safe, there are some risks involved, including:
Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS): A rare condition caused by hormonal medications, leading to symptoms like bloating, nausea, and abdominal pain. Nowadays there are excellent methods to almost eliminate this condition. Dr Daniel Lantsberg will apply the most advanced treatments that will reduce this risk significantly based on individual circumstances.
Complications from Egg Retrieval: Risks include bleeding, infection, and potential damage to surrounding organs, although these are minimised through careful monitoring and expertise.
Emotional Considerations: The process can be emotionally challenging, with stress and anxiety related to hormonal treatments and the uncertainty of future outcomes.
No Guarantee of Future Success: While freezing eggs increases the chances of future pregnancy, success is not guaranteed and depends on factors like age overall health, and number of eggs frozen.
Financial Considerations: The procedure and ongoing storage fees can be costly, and unfortunately are not covered by Medicare when undergoing elective egg freezing. Dr Daniel Lantsberg’s team at Melbourne IVF will provide a clear understanding of the financial commitment involved.
Dr. Lantsberg will discuss these risks in detail and provide support and guidance to help you navigate the journey with confidence.
