The paper analyzes the data available in the modern literature on the use of assisted reproductive technologies with cryopreservation of autologous oocytes. Oocyte vitrification is an effective fertility preservation procedure that can be used not only for medical, but also for social indications. The efficiency of oocyte vitrification depends on the patient’s age and ovarian reserve. It is necessary to further investigate this problem and to create a single register of ART cycles using vitrified autologous oocytes for the comprehensive evaluation of the efficiency and safety of the technique.

Keywords
