Oocyte Accumulation AS AN INNOVATIVE STRATEGY FOR WOMEN WITH LOW OVARIAN RESERVE
Low ovarian reserve can be an emotional and physical challenge for many women who dream of conceiving. However, technology and assisted reproduction techniques have evolved at an astonishing rate, opening new doors for those facing this obstacle. Oocyte Accumulation is one such option that offers hope and opportunity.
What is Oocyte Accumulation?
Oocyte Accumulation is a procedure that involves collecting and vitrifying several oocytes in successive cycles before considering fertilization. This approach not only maximizes the number of oocytes available, but also offers women with low ovarian reserve the opportunity to preserve high-quality oocytes for future use.
Why is it important for women with low ovarian reserve?
Women with low ovarian reserve face the challenge of having a limited number of oocytes available for fertilization. Oocyte Accumulation has emerged as a useful strategy to increase the number of available oocytes, and consequently increase the chances of obtaining transferable embryos. Thus, by collecting several oocytes in individual cycles, it is possible to increase the chances of conception in a single act of fertilization. In order to be used, this strategy is combined with advanced vitrification techniques, which guarantee the preservation of the oocytes.
Benefits of oocyte accumulation:
- Maximizing chances: By storing oocytes, the number of chances of successful fertilization is maximized, giving the woman a greater chance of conceiving.
-Quality preservation: The oocytes collected undergo an advanced vitrification process, which ensures that they are preserved in optimal conditions until the woman decides to use them.
-Time flexibility: The accumulation of oocytes allows the woman to plan her treatment in a more flexible way, offering the possibility of using her oocytes at the most appropriate time.
-Reduction of emotional stress: By offering more opportunities to obtain embryos for each act of fertilization, oocyte accumulation can reduce the stress associated with the process of medically assisted reproduction..
-Reduced financial costs: The process of obtaining oocytes, their vitrification in cumulative cycles and their subsequent devitrification and fertilization in the laboratory significantly reduces the time and materials used in the process and is therefore associated with lower costs when compared to cumulative acts of fertilization.
Conclusion
The accumulation of oocytes by vitrification represents an innovative advance in the field of assisted reproduction, especially for women with low ovarian reserve.
