What Is Egg Freezing?
Egg freezing, also known as oocyte cryopreservation, is a medical process that allows women to preserve unfertilized eggs for future use. This option provides the opportunity to delay pregnancy while still preserving the quality and potential of your eggs.
Here's how it works:
- Hormonal stimulation: You receive hormone treatments to stimulate your ovaries to produce multiple eggs.
- Egg retrieval: Mature eggs are collected through a minor outpatient procedure under sedation.
- Freezing process: The retrieved eggs are rapidly frozen using a process called vitrification, which helps prevent ice crystal formation and ensures optimal preservation.
- Storage: Your eggs are safely stored until you're ready to use them in the future through in vitro fertilization (IVF).
Why Do Women Choose Egg Freezing?
Every woman's reason is unique, but the goal is always the same: choice, control, and peace of mind.
You might consider egg freezing if you:
- Aren't ready to become a parent yet but want the option later
- Are focusing on education, career, or other personal goals
- Are in a relationship but not yet ready for children
- Are undergoing medical treatments (such as chemotherapy) that may affect fertility
- Have a family history of early menopause or fertility issues
- Simply want to be proactive about your reproductive health
