Egg freezing allows you to preserve your healthy eggs for future use, giving you the flexibility to plan your family on your own timeline and increase your chances of a successful pregnancy later.
What Is Egg Freezing?
Egg freezing, also known as oocyte cryopreservation, is a way to preserve healthy eggs for future use. It’s a great option for women who want to delay starting a family, whether for personal, medical, or professional reasons.
By freezing your eggs now, you can safeguard your fertility and increase your chances of having a successful pregnancy later on, when you’re ready. The process ensures that you have the option to conceive using your younger, healthier eggs in the future.
The Process Of Egg Freezing
INITIAL CONSULTATION
The first step is meeting with one of our fertility specialists. We’ll discuss your reasons for freezing your eggs, review your medical history, and guide you through the process. Whether you're preserving fertility for personal reasons or due to a medical condition, we’ll make sure you feel fully informed.
OVARIAN STIMULATION
After your consultation, you’ll begin the process of ovarian stimulation. This involves taking hormone injections to encourage your ovaries to produce multiple eggs (instead of just one, as in a normal cycle). During this time, we’ll monitor your progress closely with blood tests and ultrasounds to ensure everything is going smoothly.
EGG RETRIEVAL
Once your eggs are ready, they’ll be retrieved during a quick, minor procedure performed under sedation. Using a fine needle, the eggs are carefully collected from the ovaries. Most people recover quickly and can resume their normal activities the next day.
FREEZING THE EGGS
After retrieval, your eggs are frozen using a process called vitrification, which rapidly cools the eggs to preserve their quality. These eggs are then stored safely until you’re ready to use them in the future.
