To prevent this, the egg must be dehydrated before freezing. This is done using cryoprotectants which replace most of the water within the cell and inhibit the formation of ice crystals. Eggs (oocytes) are frozen using either a controlled rate, a slow-cooling method, or a newer flash-freezing process known as vitrification .
These released larvae travel to the connective tissue and muscle as observed before and after 4 weeks they return to the gastric wall as adults. [17] Here they form a tumor and continue to mature into adults for the next 6–8 months. [3] Worms mate and females begin to excrete fertilized eggs with feces 8–12 months after ingestion of cysts.

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.
