Everyone’s life unfolds at its own pace, and sometimes future plans aren’t yet set in stone. Preserving fertility allows you to plan for starting a family at a pace that suits you. You cannot fully control your fertility on your own. It is influenced by both health conditions and age-related changes.
Fortunately, however, there are ways to support fertility for as long as possible. Medical methods, such as freezing gametes, can provide extra time to make decisions and a sense of security for the future. Everyday decisions—such as making healthy lifestyle choices—also play a crucial role in maintaining fertility.
Fertility preservation refers to measures aimed at increasing the chance of having biological children in the future, even if fertility declines later on due to factors such as age, illness, or fertility-damaging treatments.
This may involve freezing eggs, sperm, or embryos. Frozen gametes can be used in future fertility treatments.
However, fertility preservation does not depend solely on medical procedures—everyday choices also play an important role. Sufficient physical activity supports hormonal balance, a varied diet improves the quality of reproductive cells, and both underweight and overweight conditions can significantly affect the likelihood of conception. Nicotine products and excessive alcohol consumption are also harmful to both female and male fertility.
With small, informed choices, you can support fertility today and lay the groundwork for long-term well-being and the possibility of parenthood.
For medical reasons, fertility preservation procedures are recommended if a disease has been diagnosed or treatment is planned that may damage or reduce the number of reproductive cells. In this case, eggs or sperm can be frozen before treatment to preserve the possibility of biological parenthood in the future.
This may be recommended, for example, if you are facing:
Many women also consider fertility preservation when their plans to start a family are postponed due to studies, career, or the lack of a suitable partner.
Age is a critical factor in a woman’s fertility—the quantity and quality of eggs begin to decline rapidly around age 30 and even more so after age 35.
Freezing eggs at a younger age increases the chances of getting pregnant and having biological children in the future.
Timely understanding of one’s own fertility and consultation with a specialist are crucial for making informed and effective decisions. Every woman’s situation and needs are unique. Therefore, before deciding on the necessity of fertility preservation procedures and beginning them, a woman’s health status and fertility indicators should be assessed in the context of her future plans.
Thanks to medical procedures, it is possible to preserve fertility in situations where it is at risk due to illness, treatment, or age. The appropriate treatment plan is always selected on an individual basis, taking into account the woman’s or man’s health, age, and needs.
A simple and quick procedure. Before treatment that may impair sperm production, several sperm samples can be collected and frozen.
Hormonal stimulation and egg retrieval under ultrasound guidance are required. Often, more than one cycle is needed to obtain a sufficient number of eggs. Particularly relevant for women who are postponing starting a family until later in life.
Particularly suitable for children and young people for whom other methods are not suitable. In the future, this tissue can be used in fertility treatment procedures if possible.
