• First baby through oocyte cryopreservation was born in Australia, in 1986, under the supervision of Dr. Christopher Chen
• Since then, only a few hundred pregnancies have been reported the world over.
• The Indian achievement came two decades later
• Pregnancy from frozen eggs is 1.4-1.8 %.
• Successful pregnancy using 'freshly harvested' egg is 43 %
• At the G G Hospital, Chennai, of the 76 frozen oocytes, only 11 embryos were formed.
• Out of this eleven, two resulted in pregnancies. One is presently continuing, while the other was just a ‘bio- chemical’ pregnancy
• If an egg is collected and frozen from a woman, aged 32, it would remain at that age when it is implanted into her while she is in her 40s
• Cost of the procedure may sum up to a few lakhs
