Clinical outcome of planned oocyte cryopreservation at advanced age.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To report outcome of planned oocyte cryopreservation (POC) in the first 8 years of this treatment in our center.

Methods

A retrospective study in a university-affiliated medical center.

Results

A total of 446 women underwent POC during 2011-2018. Fifty-seven (13%) women presented to use these oocytes during the study period (until June 2021). POC was performed at a mean age of 37.9 ± 2.0 (range 33-41). Age at thawing was 43.3 ± 2.1 (range 38-49). A total of 34 (60%) women transferred their oocytes for thawing at other units. Oocyte survival after thawing was significantly higher at our center than following shipping to ancillary sites (78 vs. 63%, p = 0.047). Forty-nine women completed their treatment, either depleting their cryopreserved oocytes without conce
