Women Now Change your Biological Clock
The Extend Fertility Process
Extend Fertility provides the opportunity to capture a woman’s healthy, “young” eggs and preserve them for potential use in the future. At Extend Fertility, we have the leading fertility science and technology on our side. We are committed to providing the safest, most effective and convenient fertility preservation methods every step of the way.
The first step in the process is a Reproductive Health Assessment that includes a blood test to measure Follicle Stimulating Hormone (the chemical that stimulates the production of eggs) and an ultrasound to ensure normal ovary activity.
If a medical professional determines that you are a good candidate for the procedure based on the results of these tests, you may begin the egg-harvesting process. You start by priming your body to produce 10-20 eggs in that month's cycle by self-administering daily hormone injections for about 10 days. This is a proven and safe technique that is utilized in more than 100,000 fertility treatments annually.
At the end of the priming process your eggs are harvested at an Extend certified clinic through a non-invasive outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia with sedation. The procedure takes 30 minutes, and recovery time is a few hours.
Once the eggs have been harvested, our scientists use the most advanced cryopreservation techniques available to preserve them. Unlike sperm or embryos, unfertilized eggs are in a delicate stage of cell development and especially subject to damage during cryopreservation. In the past, clinics have attempted to freeze eggs using the same techniques for freezing sperm or embryos — a flawed approach that has not yielded meaningful success rates. Our specialized methods are proven for freezing unfertilized eggs.
The frozen eggs are then transported by a certified medical transportation company to our specialized cryopreservation facility, where they safely remain until you decide to use them.
If and when you decide to use your preserved eggs, we work in partnership with renowned fertility specialists to embark on the fertilization process: thawing the eggs and then following a standard in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle using a partner’s sperm to create and implant embryos to produce a pregnancy.
