Egg freezing abroad

Egg freezing to preserve fertility is something to keep in mind in case you don’t see yourself getting pregnant in the short or medium term, but perhaps as a future project.

That there is uncertainty about such an important subject as being a mother is the most normal thing in the world. For this reason, in Reproclinic we offer egg vitrification, an assisted reproduction technique that allows you to freeze your eggs so that you can choose to be a mother whenever you want. But, why freeze your eggs abroad?

 

Why should you freeze your eggs?

 

In the current times, nothing is safe and everything is possible, whether in your personal life, professional life, work…

Therefore, the trend in Western countries is to postpone motherhood until after the thirties and even after reaching the 40s. In many cases, waiting so long is not the best option to be a mother with your own eggs, as these lose quality and complications could arise in pregnancy.

By freezing your eggs, you can stop the passage of time, keeping the freshness and youth of your eggs indefinitely. So, if you decide to be a mother at 45, the eggs that are used will have the same quality as at the time you vitrified them.

Why is this important? Because experts say that after age 35, the quality of the eggs decreases significantly, conserving very little reproductive capacity. It is for this reason that more and more women and couples must resort to donated eggs in order to be parents.

 

Why freeze your eggs abroad?

 

We can proudly say that Spain in general (and Barcelona in particular) is one of the preferred destinations for fertility treatments abroad. Spain has an incredible culture, enviable gastronomy and a climate that attracts millions of tourists. This alone would already be a very good excuse to come to Barcelona, but more and more women choose this country to freeze their eggs abroad.

When it comes to preserving female fertility, many women come to Barcelona because of a combination of the following factors:

  • Cost
  • Quality
  • Ease
  • Availability

These factors make Barcelona a very attractive destination when it comes to egg freezing abroad. And the fact is that Spain is a world leader in fertility and all people can access treatments regardless of their marital status, origin, gender or sexual orientation.

Freezing your eggs abroad also means that you will have to travel to the place where you froze them to be able to perform a fertility treatment in the future. But, according to some studies, freezing your eggs abroad can save you up to $ 15,000 if you compare it with the price you would pay for freezing your eggs and undergoing an in vitro fertilization in your country of origin. It’s worth thinking about, right?

 

Why choose Reproclinic to vitrify your eggs abroad?

 

Because from Reproclinic we know all the stress that comes with having an assisted reproduction treatment, and even more, being outside your country.
For this reason, at Reproclinic we have developed an entire system that will facilitate your treatment from start to finish. We invite you to discover the Reproclinic Method.

 

What does egg freezing consist of?

 

Freezing your eggs allows the possibility to preserve women’s fertility.

Thanks to the innovative freezing techniques, all the properties of the eggs are maintained until the moment of thawing. In addition, thanks to the speed at which they are frozen, the formation of ice crystals that can damage the cells is avoided.

 

For whom is egg freezing?

 

Egg freezing is indicated for all those women who, for one reason or another, want to postpone their motherhood.

These reasons can be the following:

  • For personal reasons
  • For business reasons
  • Because you need to accumulate eggs and thus have enough to carry out a cycle of Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis.
  • Because you are going to perform a treatment that can affect your ovarian reserve and reproductive capacity of the eggs (for instance, chemotherapy or radiotherapy)

Curiosities of egg vitrification

 

This method, over the years, has become the star way to preserve female fertility and due to many reasons.

One of these reasons is that the frozen eggs don’t expire. Yes, it is true that each country has its own regulation that indicates how long a frozen egg can be available before it is discarded, but technically, these do not expire. And in Spain, there is no maximum time to remain preserved.

In the process of egg vitrification, the woman is subjected to a hormonal stimulation treatment in order to obtain more oocytes (between 15 and 20, depending on age and other factors). Once extracted, they freeze at high speed. The temperature in this process reaches -196º in less than a second.
