Vitrification delivers the same clinical results as with fresh eggs with a high survival rate of the oocytes.
Becoming a mother after receiving an oncological treatment.
Vitrification of oocytes is the most viable option for women who have to undergo chemotherapy or radiotherapy. However, it must be performed with the oncologists’ consent.
Through oocyte donation, immediate oocyte availability is ensured.

Once the embryo transfer has been done, the remaining embryos will be vitrified so that they may be transferred in a later cycle without the need for an ovarian stimulation.
