Introduction:Recently, there is a growing interest in cryopreservation for nonmedical reasons, widely known as planned oocyte cryopreservation. This review aims to summarize and understand the characteristics of women who undergo or consider planned oocyte cryopreservation, identify their initial sources of information, and describe the oocyte disposition. This information should assist health professionals with shared decisionmaking.Methods: A systematic review was performed and reported following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) recommendations. PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched from inception to January 2021 without any limitation on publication date. Studies were included if they were in English and examined the characteristics of users or potential users of planned oocyte cryopreservation, initial information sources, and the oocyte disposition. Extracted data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The methodological quality of the recruited studies was assessed with the QualSyst criteria.Results: Of 1074 initially retrieved records, 29 met the inclusion criteria, including 12 qualitative and 17 quantitative studies. Response rates of surveys ranged between 38% and 85%. Most of the users or potential users of planned oocyte cryopreservation were single, highly educated, and employed and had a mean age of 37 years. Media and friends were the most common sources of initial knowledge about planned oocyte cryopreservation, and health professionals were a less common source. The majority of planned oocyte cryopreservation users did not attempt pregnancy with their frozen oocytes, yet they did not regret having undergone the procedure. The results regarding the disposition intentions of unused frozen oocytes are inconsistent.Discussion: Most of the users or potential users of planned oocyte cryopreservation have specific demographic characteristics and do not ultimately use their cryopreserved oocytes. Unused oocytes can be discarded or donated to other women or to research. By understanding the main characteristics of potential users of planned oocyte cryopreservation, health professionals can provide proper counseling and support effective decision-making.

Purpose Identifying the information and decision support needs of women interested in receiving planned oocyte cryopreservation (POC) information. Methods An online survey of Australian women, aged 18-45, interested in receiving POC information, proficient in English, with internet access. The survey covered POC information sources, information delivery preferences, POC and age-related infertility knowledge (study-specific scale), Decisional Conflict Scale (DCS), and time spent considering POC. Target sample size (n=120) was determined using a precision-based method. Results Of 332 participants, 249 (75%) had considered POC, whilst 83 (25%) had not. Over half (54%) had searched for POC information. Fertility clinic websites were predominately used (70%). Most (73%) believed women should receive POC information between ages 19-30 years. Preferred information providers were fertility specialists (85%) and primary care physicians (81%). Other methods rated most useful to deliver POC information were online. Mean knowledge score was 8.9/14 (SD:2.3). For participants who had considered POC, mean DCS score was 57.1/100 (SD:27.2) and 78% had high decisional conflict (score >37.5). In regression, lower DCS scores were associated with every 1-point increase in knowledge score (-2.4; 95% CI [-3.9, -0.8]), consulting an IVF specialist (-17.5; [-28.0, -7.1]), and making a POC decision (-18.4; [-27.5, -9.3]). Median time to decision was 24-months (IQR: 12.0-36.0) (n=53). Conclusion Women interested in receiving POC information had knowledge gaps, and wanted to be informed about the option by age 30 years from healthcare professionals and online resources. Most women who considered using POC had high decisional conflict indicating a need for decision support.
