Clinical
For the years 2004 through 2007, our IVF pregnancy rates in women with endometriosis younger than 35 ranged between 54 percent and 58 percent. We also have had pregnancies and babies delivered from unfertilized cryopreserved eggs. This offers women with endometriosis a chance for cryopreservation and storage of their eggs until they are ready to start a family.
New Developments in Egg FreezingSuccessful egg freezing is difficult and fewer than 300 pregnancies have been conceived worldwide from cryopreserved/thawed eggs. Three of our patients had unfertilized eggs cryopreserved and stored with a modified technique. The eggs were then thawed and fertilized and the resulting embryos were transferred. All three patients conceived, two delivered healthy infants, and a third is due in June 2008. This approach offers women with endometriosis a chance for cryopreservation and storage of their eggs until they are ready to start a family.
