Fertility Center Launching Study On Egg Freezing
WEST HARTFORD, Conn. -- Women wishing to put motherhood on hold may soon have more success.
The UConn Center For Reproductive Services is launching a major study on egg freezing.
UConn already freezes sperm and embryos. But, until now, it's been hesitant to freeze unfertilized eggs because of uncertainty over the success of thawing.
The health center is testing out two freezing methods to find out which one works best.
Egg freezing is currently done at some clinics, but doctors at UConn said it's still experimental.
UConn plans to enroll about 30 couples in the study, age 36 or younger, who would otherwise discard their unused eggs.
