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 cryo-preserved eggs. This offers women with endometriosis a chance for cryopreservation and storage of their eggs until they are ready to start a family.

Great Success in Egg Freezing
Successful egg freezing is difficult and fewer than 300 pregnancies have been conceived worldwide from cryopreserved/thawed eggs.

Four 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 four women conceived with uneventful pregnancies and successfully delivered healthy infants — one singleton and three sets of twins.

This approach offers women with endometriosis, career women who wish to delay childbirth, couples troubled by freezing embryos, and for those facing treatments that will affect their fertility a chance for cryopreservation and storage of their eggs until they are ready to start a family.
