Women suffering from any gynecological problems, plans to late marriage ,, deciding to remove their ovaries, or not ready to marry but want to have babies can undergo this procedure. After collection, the ovas are kept in liquid nitrogen at -196 degree celcius. Several tests including USG are done. Ovarian stimulation is done by hormone preparations , then they are retrieved by TVS Ultrasound aspiration. Women may complain of mild abdominal pain following the procedure.
