Oocyte Cryopreservation

Oocyte cryopreservation is a practice to preserve reproductive potential in women of reproductive age and start a family in the future. In addition, oocyte cryopreservation is indicated if your partner in life cannot ejaculate on the day of ovulation and there is no backup sample in the freezer. Because of the new freezing methods (vitrification), the proportion of viable oocytes after thawing is relatively high.

In addition, after the last modernization of the legal framework for the assisted reproduction in Greece, the required acquiescence of the husband for the cryopreservation of eggs by the woman who wishes to procced alone ,it is abolished. At the same time, a divorced woman is now allowed to use her cryopreserved eggs without the consent of her husband or partner.
