Greetings,

 

Welcome to Spring.

 

 "Heart Scholarship" applications are due at the end of each month. Applications are taken on a rolling, all year long basis.  If you have financial need for IVF, have documented medical infertility and no insurance that covers IVF, you may want to apply. We appreciate your support and donations.

We have BIG NEWS from Dr. Geoffrey Sher. Dr. Sher was instrumental in starting the IVF scholarship program with INCIID. Now SIRM Clinics are offering a fertility preservation program FREE to cancer patients. If you are a cancer patient or know someone who is please read and pass on this information about this new FREE program for egg freezing. See the details in this newsletter. In this newsletter we provide an overview about the difficulty of egg freezing and information on SIRM's Fertility Rescue Program.

  

Register in the INCIID Community Forums and find support and answers to medical (including early pregnancy) questions from our resident professional physician and attorney volunteers.

Egg Freezing & Fertility Preservation

 

 Women who want to preserve their fertility for reasons of cancer treatment, career, or other personal choice, have faced a difficult barrier due to the poor success rates for egg freezing.  Pregnancy rates for women using frozen/thawed eggs have been less than 4% for each individual egg frozen.  This is due to the fact that;  1) at least 60% of eggs frozen are chromosomally abnormal from the outset and therefore cannot produce a normal embryo and; 2) traditional (slow) egg freezing techniques commonly cause ice crystal formation within the cell structure, reducing viability or destroying the cells in the process.
