Female Fertility Preservation Services
Female Fertility Services
Our new female fertility services are designed to help women safeguard their younger,
healthier eggs for the time when they are ready to start their
families. The female fertility service effectively slows the biological clock and
increases the chances of having a genetically-linked child after
40. Having the option to proactively plan for future motherhood
is expected to appeal to a broad range of women – from cancer
patients facing chemotherapy and women facing family histories
of female fertility problems, to single, professional women and
couples starting their families later in life.
“For the first time, women seeking female fertility options can now take proactive
measures to protect their future fertility,” said Christy Jones,
founder and CEO, Extend Fertility. “It is our mission to help
these women address the ever-growing disconnect between the
readiness to have children and the biological limitations of
aging eggs.”
Eggs are the key to female fertility. Female fertility and egg
quality peak around the age of 27 and begin to decline in a
woman's 30s. While a woman is physically able to carry a
pregnancy to term well into her forties, the quality of the eggs
produced by a woman’s ovaries begins to significantly decline
starting around the age of 35. A 40 year old woman has less than
a 10 percent chance of having a successful pregnancy using her
own eggs, compared to approximately 30 percent at her natural
peak fertility.
Older eggs also run a much higher risk - about 10 times higher -
of chromosomal defects which can lead to conditions, such as
Down's syndrome, in children. As a result, women often spend an
average of more than $50,000 on infertility treatments or as
much as $50,000 to secure donor eggs in order to have children.
Our female fertility technology leverages recent female fertility
advancements in oocyte cryopreservation science and enables
women who have previously frozen their eggs to improve their
pregnancy rate to between 20 and 30 percent, and use their own
eggs for that pregnancy.
“This is a truly groundbreaking approach to female fertility
treatments – for many years, men have been able to bank their
sperm for future use and now women will have access to a similar
opportunity,” said Dr. Barry Behr, assistant professor,
Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility Director, IVF/ART and
Andrology Laboratories, Stanford University Medical Center. Dr.
Behr also serves as the consulting laboratory director at
Huntington Reproductive Center. “The female fertility process
employed by Extend has the most successful track record to date
and is best positioned to safely and effectively meet the needs
of a broad range of women.”
Extend Fertility partners with local medical providers to offer
a nationwide female fertility network where women can go to have their eggs
harvested and preserved. The company is forming strategic
relationships with industry leaders to provide women with the
best available science, medical service, storage technology and
female fertility education.
