Boston IVF Introduces Fertility Preservation Program

November 1, 2009

Boston IVF is now conducting a research study for women that involves freezing human eggs for future use. This study is voluntary. You do not have to participate in this study to receive IVF treatment.

If you are facing chemotherapy or radiation therapy for cancer, or want to delay childbearing, egg freezing is one option you can consider. Having eggs frozen for later fertilization can only be done as part of a research study.

Egg freezing is currently considering experimental  -- as more information on the outcomes of fertilization and pregnancies are needed before it can be considered standard practice.
