A National Perspective of Egg Freezing
Shady Grove Fertility welcomes back Sarah Elizabeth Richards to Washington, D.C., for the Egg Freezing Conference. Ms. Richards, New York Times contributor and author of Motherhood, Rescheduled provides conference attendees with a national perspective of egg freezing, where it has been and where it is going, as well as the long-term benefits of making the decision to freeze.
From Fertility Basics to the Egg Freezing Cycle and Success Rates
A panel of Shady Grove Fertility physicians including, Eric Widra, M.D., Shady Grove Fertility’s Medical Director, Joseph Doyle, M.D., and Shruti Malik, M.D. will be discussing everything you need to know about your fertility, what the egg freezing process looks like, and what you can expect in regard to pregnancy rates using your frozen eggs.
At a national level, Dr. Widra has served as Chair of the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART) Practice committee, a member of the SART Executive Committee, and a member of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) Practice Committee. Dr. Widra is a leader in the field of reproductive endocrinology. Dr. Widra will discuss Fertility 101, the basics of fertility, and why egg freezing matters and how it can be beneficial.
Dr. Doyle has been active in the development of the Egg Freezing Program at Shady Grove Fertility and is very involved with advancing the science through research. In fact, recently, Dr. Doyle worked with the Shady Grove Fertility Research Team to produce the largest study of autologous frozen egg results. The findings proved that pregnancy rates from frozen eggs are just as good as fresh eggs. In this study Dr. Doyle also formulated expected pregnancy rates by age as well as the number of children a woman can expect from her frozen eggs depending on how many eggs she froze, as well as her age. Dr. Doyle will be discussing the Egg Freezing Program at Shady Grove Fertility as well as thaw outcomes and pregnancy rates.
