Are there any risks associated with using frozen eggs alongside IVF medications and how do these compare to the risks of using fresh eggs in treatment cycles?
Using frozen eggs in IVF carries a slightly lower success rate compared to fresh eggs, mainly due to potential damage during freezing and thawing. Both methods share similar risks of multiple pregnancies and OHSS.
1. Frozen eggs in IVF may slightly increase miscarriage and preterm birth rates compared to fresh eggs, along with the usual risks of IVF medications.
2. Using frozen eggs in IVF carries potential risk elevations for chromosomal abnormalities and pregnancy complications compared to fresh eggs.
3. The primary difference is frozen eggs may reduce success rates slightly compared to fresh eggs; however, the risks from IVF medications remain similar.
