OOCYTE VITRIFICATION (CRYOPRESERVATION)

Oocyte vitrification  is a “traditional” IVF cycle, with a protocol adjusted to the woman’s medical history and hormonal profile, which means

• ovarian stimulation and hormonal measurements
• ultrasound monitoring of the follicle/s size 
• a simple, invasive technique (egg collection) when follicles have reached the right size and maturity 
• and vitrification of the mature oocytes as a final step.

In IVF Athens Center, our specially trained embryologists, always keeping up with latest evolvements in IVF, use “The Cryotop® Method” for oocyte vitrification and warming.  This method is applied in more than 2,500,000 clinical cases annually worldwide (over 115 countries and 3,000 assisted reproduction centers). Hundreds of scientific publications certify this method’s excellence regarding the survival rates (as shown below).

Any woman who wishes to “safeguard” her fertility should pay special attention to the following:

Α. An individualized/customized, light stimulation protocol.
Β. A Registered Centre of Reproductive Medicine that will guarantee the preservation of the “valuable” oocytes.
C. A skilled embryological laboratory.
D. A trustworthy and efficient relationship of the woman with the doctor and the staff of the Unit (as that will prove valuable so as to facilitate the process smoothly and without anxiety).
