Ovarian stimulation is the first step to be able to make a treatment of artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization (IVF) or ICSI with own eggs, as well as to freeze ovules to preserve fertility and to donate ovules. For this, hormones are administered in controlled doses, which will start the maturation of the ovules in the ovary of the woman. The purpose of ovulation stimulation is to achieve the maturation of several follicles at once to increase the number of oocytes obtained in the ovarian puncture and, therefore, increase the number of embryos and thus the possibility of achieving pregnancy.

Fertility preservation consists in freezing the eggs and spermatozoa in straws or other freezing methods, and keeping them stored submerged in liquid nitrogen. Thus, these cells can be preserved intact for an indefinite period until the time when they are desired to have offspring. When the time comes, they can be used in an assisted reproduction treatment. Another option is to freeze ovarian or testicular tissue, but these procedures are still in the experimental period. It can be used in cases where freezing of eggs or semen is not possible.
