What Women Should Know About Egg Freezing

The director of the Ibn Sina Infertility Treatment Center, responding to the spread of information about egg freezing on social media, offered explanations.

The director of Ibn Sina Infertility Treatment Center gave an explanation in response to the publication of information about egg freezing in cyberspace.

Referring to the publication of incorrect or incomplete information about egg freezing in cyberspace, Farhad Yaghmai, referring to the publication of false or incomplete information about egg freezing in the cyberspace, quoted from the public relations officer of Ibn Sina University Jihad Biological Science Research Institute, said: Egg freezing can be one of the options to preserve the chance of fertility, but it does not guarantee future pregnancy, nor does it eliminate the effect of aging on fertility, and it is not a necessary method for all women.

Emphasizing the need for people to have access to accurate information about fertility preservation methods, he said: One of the reasons for designing the campaign "Know the Fertility Opportunity" is the existence of incomplete and sometimes incorrect information about fertility preservation in cyberspace. For this reason, we have tried to provide clear and scientific information about egg freezing, its capacities and limitations.

Yaghmai went on to explain three misconceptions about egg freezing and said: the first misconception; Egg freezing is said to guarantee future pregnancy.

He added: Egg freezing provides the possibility of storing eggs for possible use in the future, but it does not mean guaranteeing pregnancy or the birth of a child in the future. The final result depends on several factors, including the age at the time of freezing, the number of stored eggs, and individual and treatment conditions.

Yaghmai said: ASRM also emphasizes that egg freezing, despite significant advances in technology, is associated with uncertainties, and the age at freezing and the number of eggs are factors related to future success.

He considered the second misconception to be the issue that it is said that age does not matter after egg freezing.

The director of Ibn Sina Infertility Treatment Center also explained about the second misconception: egg freezing does not mean stopping the aging process or eliminating age-related factors. The importance of age, especially the age at egg freezing, continues to be important in evaluating future outcomes.

He added: ACOG guidelines also emphasize that fertility decreases with age due to changes in the quantity and quality of eggs, and it is necessary to provide evidence-based advice to people about this process.

Yaghmai pointed to the third misconception that every woman should freeze her eggs and while rejecting such an approach, she stated: Egg freezing is not necessary or appropriate for all women. The decision about fertility preservation should be made based on medical conditions, age, fertility status, individual's plan for childbearing and discussion with the specialist.

He added: What we are pursuing in the "Know the Fertility Opportunity" campaign is not creating fear or encouraging people to take a specific action; The goal is to provide information on which a person can think more consciously about their fertility future.

Yaghmai said: According to ACOG's recommendations, the conversation about the natural decline of ovarian function and the factors affecting fertility should be considered during the fertile years and accessible and evidence-based information should be provided to people.
