Abstract

The introduction of oocyte vitrification has propelled the field of oncofertility. However, it is becoming increasingly common to offer planned oocyte cryopreservation to healthy, fertile women due to a lack of a partner or other personal issues. The aim of this article is to discuss the pros and cons of planned oocyte cryopreservation along with potential exploitation issues by unregulated clinics and international agencies. This article further encourages obstetricians and gynecologists to discuss these issues of planned oocyte cryopreservation with their patients to empower them to make an educated decision based on research and science rather than be susceptible to entities that stand to gain monetarily by prompting women to fear a childless future.
