The topic of "egg freezing" has attracted widespread attention in society, with many women showing a keen interest in its technology, process, and costs. Despite the gradual maturity of egg freezing techniques, its development in China is still under 20 years, and it has not undergone large-scale promotion. For women deciding on egg freezing, there are three key points that require special attention. To shed light on these, we conducted an interview with Dr. Nathan Zhang, a renowned expert in the field of assisted reproduction, a medical doctor with experience in the United States, and the founder of IVF USA.

Key Considerations:

    Ovulation Stimulation Process:

    In the process of freezing eggs, one must first undergo the ovulation stimulation phase. Daily injections and medication intake may cause Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS), potentially leading to various issues. Dr. Zhang emphasizes that scientific clinical results indicate that stimulation medications and the process are harmless to the body, which does not accelerate aging nor increase the risk of tumors in women. Regarding OHSS, following medical advice typically poses no significant issues. While ovulation stimulation medications may have short-term side effects, they do not leave long-term consequences. Temporary weight gain is a normal phenomenon, and with exercise and dietary adjustments over time, weight can be restored.

    Egg Retrieval Process:

    Currently, the egg retrieval process in the USA occurs under general anesthesia, taking approximately twenty minutes. Afterward, women can rest, and two weeks later, they can expect the onset of the next menstrual cycle. Egg retrieval does not harm the ovaries. Addressing concerns about whether ovulation stimulation might prematurely deplete ovarian function, Dr. Zhang explains that the ovulation stimulation process effectively utilizes the natural development mechanism of multiple follicles in a woman's natural cycle, enhancing the utilization of eggs without causing excessive depletion of ovarian function. Therefore, egg freezing does not prematurely exhaust eggs.

    Success Rate and Risks:

    One of the significant challenges in egg freezing is the inability to scientifically assess the quality of eggs, predict the condition of fertilized eggs resulting from the combination of eggs and sperm, and understand the status of the embryos formed. To mitigate these risks, freezing eggs early and increasing the quantity of stored eggs are effective measures. While egg freezing may not be the optimal solution for all problems, in specific cases, it is indeed a beneficial choice for certain individuals. Before making a decision, it is advisable to fully understand potential risks, including the health risks for future children, IVF technology, freezing technology, the risk of failure, costs, psychological considerations, and more.
