Aspects on Social Egg Freezing – Current State in Bulgaria

Abstract

Oocyte cryopreservation for non-medical reasons has been widely promoted among young women who tend to delay their reproduction. As the methodology has proved its safety and efficiency in the field of assisted reproduction technology and the embryo laboratory, the interest in oocyte cryopreservation has increased highly. However, do social freezers ever come back and use these oocytes, or they keep them as a safety boat with no real near-future plans for reproduction?
