The resulting embryo is then transferred to the uterus. While the process is painless, patients may experience mild discomfort in the hours following the procedure.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>The Sperm Freezing Process<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sperm is first collected (via masturbation) and analyzed. It is then processed and placed in 0.5 ml straws. A period of abstinence of 2 to 5 days between each sample is required. It is essential to begin as early as possible when chemotherapy, radiation therapy, vasectomy, or hormone treatments that may affect fertility are planned.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sperm can be stored indefinitely. When the time comes to attempt conception, the sperm sample is thawed and used with fertility techniques like intrauterine insemination or in vitro fertilization to achieve pregnancy.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;4\/12&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1339&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;8\/12&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1341&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n<h2>Success Rates<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although egg\/sperm cryopreservation offers many benefits, it does not guarantee a future pregnancy. A woman\u2019s age and the number of eggs she successfully freezes impact the likelihood that these eggs will lead to a pregnancy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Dr. Niamh Tallon, for women under 35, with 10 eggs retrieved, the projected birth rate is 60%. For women between 38 and 40, if 10 eggs are retrieved, that rate is 40%*.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What Costs Should Be Expected?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to note that the procedure is not always covered by public health systems. Currently, in Quebec, RAMQ** may cover sperm or egg preservation in the case of cancer for the first 5 years of treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RAMQ generally does not cover the procedure for social or personal reasons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Expect to pay around $5,000 for the complete egg-freezing procedure, plus annual storage fees of around $500 per year.
