Why conduct a program
of postponed maternity (social egg freezing)?
Postponed maternity refers to the practice of delaying pregnancy and childbirth with the help of assisted reproductive technologies (ART). This is often done to allow individuals or couples to focus on their careers, education, or other life goals before starting a family.
With aging, women are exposed to fertility decline. Freezing one’s eggs, while being in the best reproductive condition, is a great and wise investment. Additionally, it can also eliminate the impact of various other health issues. By freezing their eggs, women can secure their chances of achieving a successful pregnancy later in life without resorting to multiple costly IVF procedures and donor biomaterial.
The egg vitrification
process
Egg vitrification is a technique used in assisted reproductive medicine to freeze and store a woman's eggs for future use. It involves rapidly cooling the eggs to extremely low temperatures, so they can be preserved without damage. Here's a step-by-step overview of how the egg vitrification process typically works:
- Egg Preparation: After retrieval, the eggs are carefully examined by an embryologist to assess their quality and maturity. The eggs that meet certain criteria are selected for vitrification.
- Vitrification: The eggs are transferred into a small droplet of a cryoprotectant solution, that allows them to survive freezing and thawing.
- Rapid Cooling: Vitrification involves rapidly cooling the eggs to an extremely low temperature, typically around -196 degrees Celsius (-320 degrees Fahrenheit) using ultra-rapid freezing techniques. The eggs are placed in straws before being submerged in liquid nitrogen to achieve such low temperatures.
- Storage: Once vitrified, the eggs are stored in cryopreservation tanks filled with liquid nitrogen. These tanks are designed to maintain a stable low temperature indefinitely until the eggs are ready for thawing and future use.
How does the process
of egg collection work?
The process of egg collection is a key step. Here is an overview of how it works:
- Ovarian Stimulation: Before egg collection, a woman usually undergoes ovarian stimulation with hormonal medications. These medications promote the development of multiple mature eggs, instead of the usual one egg that is naturally released each month. This is done to diminish the number of procedures necessary to attain the quantity of frozen eggs sufficient for the second step of treatment.
- Monitoring: During the ovarian stimulation period, the woman's follicle growth are regularly monitored using ultrasound scans. This allows the fertility specialist to track follicle development and determine the optimal time for egg retrieval.
- Trigger Shot: When the follicles have reached an appropriate size, a final injection called a trigger shot is administered, which launches the final maturation of the eggs within the follicles and prepares them for a successful retrieval.
- Egg Retrieval: Approximately 34-36 hours after the trigger shot, the egg retrieval procedure under anesthesia takes place.
The second stage
of postponed maternity program
When the woman is ready for a pregnancy, the eggs are thawed, and the cryoprotectants are removed. The eggs are then fertilized with partner’s or donor’s sperm using ICSI technique. The resulting embryos can be transferred to the woman's uterus, or biopsied for PGT-a (genetic screening) and vitrified. PGT-a allows for the maximum embryo implantation rate and ensures the baby will be born healthy.

specialists of the fertility clinic
We had various medical treatments without any success in our country, so we decided our only option left was to have IVF with an egg donor. To be able to choose the donor by ourselves, based on pictures, in a big European database was very important for us. The staff, receptionists, translators, medical professors were first-class. The clinic helped us to organize all that we required for the travel, which took the stress away and supported us for the time we spent there. The clinic was clean, well-organized, and modern. In conclusion, we had an enjoyable stay in St Petersburg, a warm welcome from the staff of the clinic, and the most important, the success with the pregnancy. So we highly recommend this clinic!
I'm writing this review with the most precious gift in my arms, my much longed for baby girl, who was born in March of this year, thanks to the wonderful treatment and care that I received from the team at NGC. For the first time during my years of treatments I felt that I was really being listened to and my concerns being addressed. No stone was left unturned! I found the clinic to be impressive and immaculate and so much more modern and advanced than previous clinics I had been treated at in the UK. I fell pregnant that first cycle and was over the moon. I will forever be so very grateful for the care and support received at NGC and I simply can't recommend them enough!
When we wanted a sibling for our daughter we turned to NGC in St.-Petersburg. Alex from NGC was very helpful in providing us with information, egg donors, pricing and logistics. He set us up with Dr Valentina Denisova who gave us an hour of her time and explained and advised us on the medical possibilities, requirements and procedures of the NGC via video conference. We welcomed our healthy, hungry, noisy son on our 1st try with NGC and recommend them highly. We are very impressed with and are extremely thankful to the NGC doctors, staff and coordinators, their new facilities, the customer care and coordination and of course our all success!
I couldn't recommend Next Generation Clinic more! The facilities are state-of-the-art and every member of staff has been polite and professional. The communication (in perfect English, as we unfortunately don't speak Russian) has always been prompt and reliable, thanks to fantastic Alex who has been helpful all along. Dr Valentina Denisova and the embryology team have done an excellent job. I got pregnant following the first embryo transfer, we are grateful!
Firstly I would like to thank Alex and Dr Valentina for the level of care and compassion shown to me throughout our IVF journey. The communication and response time was second to none. Replies within the hour! Dr Valentina was very reassuring when I become anxious or I had any sort of worries/concerns, she always put me at ease answering any questions I may of had. The clinic facilities are very state-of-the-art. Clean, modern just as you see in the pictures on their website. I am currently pregnant with my first frozen transfer. I will be eternally grateful to the team at Next Generation Clinic.
We are so thankful for everything. This is our 1st IVF, and we are glad it was successful. God bless you all!
We had directly a good feeling when talking to the international manager of NGC who was very helpful, reliable and fast to answer any question we would have. I gave birth in spring 2022 to a healthy baby. This pregnancy and birth happened thanks to NGC, and we are really grateful to them. We would certainly recommend NGC.
We travelled from Ireland to have our IVF treatment in 2022, and I am pleased to say that it was a fantastic experience. The team at NGC clinic provided exceptional care and attention. The doctors and staff were all incredibly knowledgeable and supportive throughout the entire process. I felt comfortable and informed at all times. The facilities and equipment at NGC clinic are top-notch, and I felt confident that I was in good hands. Most importantly, the IVF treatment was successful, and I am now expecting a healthy baby. I can't thank the team at NGC clinic enough for their expertise and care.
Best clinic ever, dreams come true here. If you want to achieve the result at your first attempt, this is where you should go. The doctors were absolutely amazing, Ksenia and Alexander were simply the best. Everyone is always willing to help and answer all your questions. The staff controls everything to make your journey smooth and productive.
I do highly recommend NGC. This is a place where miracles happen. Thanks to the whole team that helped me. I’m forever thankful.
"All in all, an exceptional experience."
After we had experiences with fertility clinics in three different countries in Europe (two of them in the EU), we chose Next Generation Clinic (NGC) in St. Petersburg, Russia. Our choice was initially based on the fact that they offer a large database of donors. Donors are often already genetically screened, and the process of getting the biological material is significantly easier than in other places.
We were really satisfied with the treatment, and support. The response time is very short and communication is easy, professional and to the point. Whenever we travelled to St. Petersburg, the clinic organized our transportation to and from the airport at their expense and helped us with the best money exchange place. The clinic offered great care and a personalized treatment plan that was well-rooted in the care of the patient in the first place. We are planning to go for a second child since we are currently pregnant with a girl and we are hoping for a boy as well.
