Boston IVF is pleased to offer a breakthrough service for women interested in preserving their fertility for the future. Through the practice of cryo-preservation—or egg freezing—women now have the ability to freeze and store their eggs for future use.

Egg freezing for fertility preservation can benefit a broad range of women - from cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation to women who anticipate starting or adding to their families later in life.

While a woman’s uterus is able to carry a pregnancy to term well into her forties, the decline in egg quality makes the likelihood of a successful pregnancy significantly lower as one’s age advances into their early forties. As a result, over 14,000 U.S. women per year are forced to turn to egg donation in order to conceive. Egg freezing provides the opportunity for women to become their own donors earlier in life.

Through its partnership with Extend Fertility, Boston IVF applies technology that replaces the fluid with molecules that make the egg less vulnerable to freezing and more viable for fertilization once they are thawed.

Women interested in exploring the option of egg freezing contact (888) 300-BIVF for more information.
