In 2003, after freeze-thawing, orthotopic autotransplantation of ovarian cortical tissue was done by laparoscopy and five months after reimplantation regular ovulatory cycles were reinitiated. Eleven months after re-implantation a viable intrauterine pregnancy was confirmed, which resulted in the delivery of a healthy baby.
Women with a family history of early menopause may have an interest in fertility preservation to preserve viable eggs that could deteriorate at an earlier onset. Those with ovarian diseases such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome could opt for this method. [citation needed] Oocyte cryopreservation is one of many options for individuals undergoing IVF ...
Cryopreservation of ovarian tissue is of interest to women who want to preserve their reproductive function beyond the natural limit, or whose reproductive potential is threatened by cancer therapy, [42] for example in hematologic malignancies or breast cancer. [43]
The same study found that, of 65 patients referred to the program, 28% declined to undergo embryo, oocyte, or tissue cryopreservation. 9% were found not to be eligible for medical reasons. Of the remaining 41 patients, 85% chose to cryopreserve embryos, 10% chose to cryopreserve oocytes, and 5% chose to undergo ovarian tissue freezing. [9]
Once the ovarian follicles have been aspirated on one ovary, the needle is withdrawn and the procedure is repeated on the other ovary. It is not unusual to remove 20 oocytes as patients are generally hyperstimulated in advance of this procedure. After completion, the needle is withdrawn, and hemostasis is achieved.

Oocyte cryopreservation is not possible for those with pre-pubertal cancer or premature ovarian insufficiency. Ovarian tissue cryopreservation also poses a risk of reintroducing malignant cells after cancer recovery, particular in those with previous leukaemia. [1] Artificial ovaries could be an effective alternative in fertility preservation.
