Women diagnosed with cancer who have not yet begun chemotherapy or radiotherapy can benefit from Oocyte cryopreservation. [3] Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are toxic to oocytes, reducing the number of viable eggs. Egg-freezing may be used in this case to preserve eggs as opposed to Oocyte cryopreservation.

Egg donation is the process by which a woman donates eggs to enable another woman to conceive as part of an assisted reproduction treatment or for biomedical research. For assisted reproduction purposes, egg donation typically involves in vitro fertilization technology, with the eggs being fertilized in the laboratory; more rarely, unfertilized eggs may be frozen and stored for later use.
Egg donors are resources for women with no eggs due to surgery, chemotherapy, or genetic causes; or with poor egg quality, previously unsuccessful IVF cycles or advanced maternal age. In the egg donor process, eggs are retrieved from a donor's ovaries, fertilized in the laboratory with the sperm from the recipient's partner, and the resulting ...

Injection of hCG as a trigger for ovulation confers a risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, especially in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome who have been hyperstimulated during previous assisted reproduction cycles. [12] Complications of TVOR include injury to pelvic organs, hemorrhage, and infection.
The main goal of diabetes management is to keep blood glucose (BG) levels as normal as possible. [1] If diabetes is not well controlled, further challenges to health may occur. [1] People with diabetes can measure blood sugar by various methods, such as with a BG meter or a continuous glucose monitor, which monitors over several days. [2]
In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is a process of fertilisation in which an egg is combined with sperm in vitro ("in glass"). The process involves monitoring and stimulating a woman's ovulatory process, then removing an ovum or ova (egg or eggs) from her ovaries and enabling a man's sperm to fertilise them in a culture medium in a laboratory.
