Fertility Preservation in Gurgaon

Fertility preservation is the umbrella term for freezing eggs, sperm, or embryos so they can be used for a pregnancy later in life. Sometimes the reason is a cancer treatment that is about to start. Sometimes it is a health condition that will chip away at future fertility. 

And sometimes, honestly, it is simply a woman or a couple wanting more time before they start a family. Whatever the reason, TheFertilife coordinates all three preservation paths under Dr. Anshika Lekhi, and where the timing is driven by treatment she works hand in hand with your oncology or specialist team.

"The patients I see under real time pressure are usually starting chemotherapy in days, not months. In those cases, my first call isn't to the patient — it's to their oncologist, to find out exactly how many days we actually have to work with before treatment has to start." — Dr. Anshika Lekhi

What Counts as Fertility Preservation?

Three methods sit under this umbrella. The first is freezing unfertilised eggs, what the lab calls oocyte cryopreservation. The second is freezing embryos, where the egg has already been fertilised before it goes into storage. 

And the third, the simplest of them, is freezing sperm. Whichever path is chosen, the sample is stored by vitrification or controlled freezing in liquid nitrogen, and it stays viable for a very long time. Indeed, healthy babies have been born from eggs frozen over a decade earlier, from embryos frozen for two decades, and from sperm frozen for three.

Who Needs Fertility Preservation?

For some patients the reason is purely medical, and the clock isn't theirs to set. You might be about to start chemotherapy, radiation, or a surgery that could damage the ovaries, testes or uterus. 

Or you've been handed a diagnosis linked to earlier fertility decline, some of the autoimmune conditions among them. Sometimes it's a planned surgery for severe endometriosis, or another condition that involves the reproductive organs directly.

Then there's the other group, where nothing medical is forcing the timing. Plenty of women simply want to delay childbearing for a career, for study, or until the relationship timing feels right. 

Some don't have a partner at the moment but want to keep the door to a biological child open. And every so often it's a man banking sperm before a vasectomy, a quiet backup against future regret.

In the medical cases the timing is set by your treatment schedule, not by your preference, and that is exactly why an early conversation with both your oncologist and a fertility specialist counts for so much more here than it ever does in an elective case.
