Media pressure on women for reaching motherhood is intense. Many identify with the issue because they also have been pursuing maternity without being "successful."

Thanks to egg cryopreservation, time is no longer an obstacle, since it allows the fertility of the eggs to be preserved by freezing them with liquid nitrogen at -196°C so that when the woman decides to have children she can do so with her eggs in one treatment of IVF.
Our specialist, Álvaro Santibáñez, mentions that one of the phrases most repeated by patients when they go to the consultation with him is: "Why didn't I save my ovules?", putting up front the importance of disseminating more information on the subject to that women have more options regarding their maternity. This treatment, in addition to being ideal for deciding when to have a baby, also becomes a hope for women facing diseases that affect their fertility, especially if they are undergoing treatments such as chemotherapy.
The process is simple and can be divided into two steps: The first is the extraction of the ovules which begins with an analysis to determine the ovarian reserve of the patient. Subsequently, ovarian stimulation is performed to make the ovaries develop several follicles. Once the eggs are obtained, they are placed in liquid nitrogen and finally kept for an indeterminate time with the same substance.
