Prime Things You Should Know About Before Freezing Your Eggs

Is Egg Freezing the right option for you? Let us take a look at what Egg Freezing is. Egg Freezing, also known as mature oocyte cryopreservation, is a process where the eggs (oocytes) are extracted, frozen and preserved for later use. When the woman wishes to become pregnant in future, the eggs are fertilized, and inserted back into the uterus as embryos. 

We at Seed ART Bank agree that taking the decision to undergo the egg freezing process is not easy. Some may think that egg freezing process may not yield effective results. While some may think that the eggs retrieval procedure is a painful procedure. But all these are myths which hold no truth.

Here is a list of some FAQs about egg freezing.

Who should consider Egg Freezing?

1. Women who are career-oriented and prefer late pregnancy.

As fertility probability declines with age, freezing your eggs at an early age increases your chance for future pregnancy. However, unlike the ovary and eggs, the uterus does not age and is able to attain pregnancy up to 40s and 50s. The frozen eggs are stored at a temperature of -196 degrees. So there are lesser chances of deterioration in the egg quality with time.

2. Women detected with cancer.

Egg freezing gives an opportunity to store eggs prior to chemotherapy, surgery or radiation processes. These treatments spoil the eggs quality and may lead to infertility. However, in some cases, productive eggs can be presented after the entire cancer treatment process. The preserving options may vary depending on the age of the patient, type of cancer detected, and the cancer-treatment plan followed.

3. Women with genetic history of early menopause.

Few types of early menopause may have genetic links. In this case, Egg freezing makes it possible to store eggs before they get depleted.

4. Women undergoing IVF treatment

Couples who are undergoing IVF treatment can opt for Egg Freezing process if they do not wish to fertilize more eggs. In this case, eggs can be fertilized if they wish to expand their family.

When is the right time for Egg Freezing?

The simplest answer to pursue egg freezing is in the earliest reproductive years, for example, women in 20s and early 30s – to ensure best quality and quantity of eggs.

A woman is born with a number of eggs, which reduce overtime. This deterioration shows why a woman aged 40 and above only has 5 percent chance of becoming pregnant.

What is the optimal number of eggs to be frozen?

It is always best to be prepared to encounter a percentage of eggs obtained that may not last for a longer duration. So it is recommended to preserving approximately 15-20 eggs at one time. Women at an early age may have eggs available from just one stimulation or freeze cycle. Some women may have to undergo the freeze cycle once or more to reach the goal.

Where are the eggs stored?

Once the eggs are vitrified, your eggs will be placed into liquid nitrogen storage containers for safekeeping. Various Mechanisms are available for safe and long-term storage of your eggs. You may be provided with paperwork needed to assist you in arranging for the transport of your eggs.

How long can the eggs be stored?

Freezing of human eggs is a fresh concept. In the case of eggs of a woman at early age, the frozen embryos are known to survive for approximately 5 years or may be more. In case of man, the human sperm is capable of producing healthy pregnancies for decades.

Is egg freezing possible, if a woman has irregular period cycles?

It is a fact that women with irregular cycles have plenty of eggs and they don’t ovulate often. These eggs are stimulated for freezing similarly like in women with regular period cycles. Initial evaluation includes testing to examine the hormonal and egg status.

What are the risks of Egg Freezing?

Egg freezing process may result in different risks. Excessive usage of fertility drugs during the fertility treatment may harm the functioning of your body. Retrieval of eggs may cause bleeding, infection or damage to bowel, bladder or blood vessels. The general anesthesia given during this process may be a point of concern as well.

At Seed ART Bank, egg freezing program has success rates as high as 50 per cent. With our affiliated fertility clinics, pregnancy rates with frozen eggs are very similar to our IVF pregnancy rates using fresh eggs. Moreover, babies born from frozen eggs are as healthy as natural babies and do not have any risk or birth defects.

What is the Egg Freezing cost in India?

Egg freezing cost involves several factors like timing and so on. If you wish to freeze your eggs with us, it will cost you around Rs 50,000/- excluding taxes at the initial stage of the egg freezing process. Later, it will charge you about Rs 25,000/- annually for storage for the next five years.

10-Things to Consider Before Surrogacy Treatment

Surrogacy can be a miraculous gift, a way for a childless or infertile couple to fulfill their desire to become parents. However, precautions should be taken to ensure that all parties have a positive and healthy experience. 

There are top 10 things you must consider before working with a surrogate.

1. You must have a medical necessity to participate in surrogacy.

Visit an IVF doctor and ask if he or she recommends that you do surrogacy. Keeping your good figure or a stressful high-powered job are not valid reasons to work with a surrogate mother. Most IVF doctors (and all good IVF doctors) will only work with couples that have a medical reason to do surrogacy. There are sometimes psychological issues that can be included, but we consider psychological to be a medical reason.

2. Psychological counseling for the couple.

See a counselor to discuss if surrogacy is right for you, and if you can actually do surrogacy. Can you allow someone to carry a child for you? There are women who need a surrogate mother, but will try to control every aspect of the surrogate's life, and this will cause conflicts between them. Seriously consider child-free living, and discuss this option with your counselor.

3. Psychological counseling and evaluation for the surrogate and her husband or partner.

What is her motivation for becoming a surrogate mother? Has she done surrogacy before, and what went wrong or right that she feels the need to do it again? Does she understand that the couple will be involved in the pregnancy and may have different opinions regarding pregnancy care and treatment? How involved will she allow the couple to be? Get a written psychological clearance on your surrogate mother.

4. Understand the legal status of surrogacy law in the state where your surrogate mother lives.

It is crucial to get an independent legal consultation regarding the laws of the state she lives in. If there are any doubts about finalizing your parental rights, DO NOT Proceed. If you plan on having her deliver in another state, DO NOT Proceed, because she could have a premature delivery. All parties should have independent legal counsel represent them, and all parties must sign legal contracts before any medical procedure is undertaken.

5. All parties should complete a surrogacy questionnaire that is shared with each other.

These questionnaires include questions about mental illness, hospitalizations, genetic illnesses, prior marriages, prior children, health status, marital status, bankruptcies and legal judgments, prior pregnancy history, infertility history, etc.

6. Psychological counseling

There should be ongoing psychological counseling for all parties throughout the pregnancy and for at least two months after birth.

7. The cost of surrogacy

Do you have the financial ability to pay for the pregnancy? Can you cope with the costs of a high-risk pregnancy, premature birth and miscarriage?

8. At least one parent should be biologically connected to the child being conceived.

If both egg donor and sperm donor are needed with a surrogate mother, be prepared for a far more complicated relationship both legally and psychologically, and ONLY work with a surrogate mother who is a resident in the state of California. California is the only jurisdiction that recognizes such a relationship.

9. Openly discuss and document everyone's expectation of the surrogacy relationship.

This is where each party learns what is expected of him or her by the other, and if they can do what is expected of them. They should also discuss the kind of relationship they believe they would want after birth. Many couples and surrogate mothers find they cannot answer this question, because they have never participated in surrogacy before. This is an answer in itself, as it indicates they are open to many possibilities.

10. Selecting the right agency.

Evaluate the advantages to working with a reputable surrogacy agency.

Creating A Relationship With Your Surrogate in India

It is important to build the good relationship with your surrogate as it benefits both the parties. Surrogates are mentally prepared and ready to help others. Their basic aim to become a surrogate is to help you create your family and the pay-off for them is seeing you gazing at your newborn for the first time. In this Post, let’s know the things that can help make your relationship smooth and pleasant. At Seed ART Bank, we have been telling surrogates and intended parents that the basic four things that makes a sound relationship in surrogacy work includes trust, communication, appropriate boundaries and flexibility.

Trust

Trust is the first and foremost ingredient to build a good relationship in the surrogacy program. It should be at the core of your relationship with your surrogate. Trust is considered as a mutual gift and boosts the success in any surrogacy program. Surrogates after being selected in the matching program want to feel that you trust them and that you know that your baby is in good hands. They don’t want or need to be managed by you (although of course it’s understandable that you want lots of details). If you have a solid foundation of trust in your surrogate and she in you, you will be able to relax and enjoy your surrogacy journey.

Communication

Communication is the second important ingredient in your surrogacy relationship. Being able to communicate with each other about your relationship and about the pregnancy will certainly help you feel that you are really participating and it will help your surrogate feel that you really care. You can have face-to-face communication or if intended parents reside at some other, you can chat, Skype or call with the surrogate at regular intervals. These things are being facilitated by the team of professionals at Seed Art Bank, the largest surrogacy agency in India. The best way to keep open lines of communication with your surrogate is to be interested in her and her life, but you can keep it light and let the relationship develop naturally.

Boundaries

Setting the boundaries is an essential part of any relationship and the surrogacy relationship is no exception. One should be always careful about the thin line between the commitments and services. The parties involved in the surrogacy program should also be careful not to make promises that you can’t keep–remember your surrogacy relationship exists for one goal: to help you create your family. Intended parents sometimes make the mistake of “falling in love at first sight” with their surrogate when they meet her and realize that she is the woman who will help them fulfill their dream of parenthood. In that honeymoon phase they may reveal things or promise things that they later regret. The rule of thumb is: take it slow, be warm and authentic and have good boundaries.

Flexibility

Flexibility is the last ingredient in the surrogacy relationship is. Surrogacy is not a linear process and there are many points in the journey where flexibility will be essential. Remember that your surrogate probably has a very full life outside of the surrogacy and although your journey to parenthood may be first and foremost on your mind, she also has to think about her kids, her partner, and her job, and the surrogacy may not always be first in line for her attention. So, be flexible in your expectations of her. She doesn’t need to return your call instantly to be taking good care of her body and your baby!

Overall, your surrogate’s primary goal is to succeed at having your baby–the relationship that you have along the way is the backdrop for that unfolding story and the beginning chapter in your child’s life. When you trust each other, have good, open communication, live inside of appropriate and fluid boundaries and bring flexibility to all of your expectations you set the stage for a wonderful journey together!

Seed ART Bank - Where Intended Parents Build Family Through Surrogacy

What is Gestational surrogacy?

Surrogacy is a method of assisted reproduction whereby a woman agrees to become pregnant for giving birth to a child for others to raise. In gestational surrogacy, the surrogate does not have any relation with the child as she gets pregnant with an unrelated embryo. In some cases, surrogacy is the only available option for couples who wish to have a child that is biologically related to them.

Intended Parents- Choosing the Surrogate Mother

The gestational surrogacy arrangement is done with the help of fertility clinics or an agency. And helping to find the best gestational surrogate for intended parents is facilitated by the independent agency.  Seed ART Bank take pride in helping you find the ideal surrogate match based on your needs and desires. Together, we will work with you to achieve your dream of becoming a parent. An intended parent offers a compensation to secure a willing surrogate. There can be several reasons for intended parents to choose surrogate pregnancy. For instance, intended parents may arrange a surrogate pregnancy because a woman who intends to be parents is infertile or unable to carry a pregnancy to term, e.g., woman with hysterectomy, uterine malformation or with a history of recurrent miscarriages or any medical illness making her pregnancy at risk. A female who wishes to have a child may be fertile and healthy, but unwilling to undergo pregnancy due to medical issues.

Surrogacy in India - Legal Conformity

The concept of surrogacy in India is not new. Commercial surrogacy was made legal in early 2002 and since then thousands of couples have done surrogacy in various cities of India.  Due to the English speaking environment and cheaper services, surrogacy services offered by the fertility clinics attract the willing clients.

Egg Donors Provide Gift to Couple Wanting to Have a Baby

In this Post, we will share you with the details about the egg donor profiles and what they say about becoming an egg donor for someone to complete a family. The 25-year-old college student, identified by her anonymous donor name Lisa, is ready to take fertility shots and pills to ensure the fertility of her egg, which will be surgically retrieved after her fertility cycle ends.

Lisa who is enthusiastic to become an egg donor, for the first time said, "I think, it is indeed one of the great decisions that I have taken.  I have eggs that are fertile why not help a couple that really has the desire to want a child." Lisa said that while she helps a couple out, she can also make money for college. “By this thing, I will also be able to complete my studies after receiving a good compensation out of it.”

Like Lisa, there are hundreds of girls who are eager to donate their eggs to build someone else’s dream of having a family. Another donor, who is not authorized to speak because of the guidelines issued by the ICMR, says she had signed a contract with an egg donor agency delhi, for becoming a donor and the process of taking fertility drugs has already been started.

Seed ART Bank, the largest egg donation agency in India makes the process entirely anonymous, where a couple or child will not be able to contact the egg donor or vice versa. "I'm doing it because I want to give someone that gift; it's something I'm not going to retrieve later. It's not mine; it was a gift to give away," Sunanda explained. "I really hope that that family enjoys it as much as I know my mom has enjoyed my siblings and me. It's not something I would want to take back or regret. This is a choice and I'm happy to be a part of it."

At Seed ART Bank, we believe in helping our future parents, egg donors and surrogates through every step of the process. We fully understand that having a family through egg donation can be a serious matter so the privacy of all parties is kept confidential and held in the strictest confidence. Our agency approaches all aspects of fertility with sensitivity, respect and dignity and is committed to the success of our clients.
