1. Ovarian Stimulation:

Hormonal injections are used to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. 

2. Egg Retrieval:

Mature eggs are collected from the ovaries through a minimally invasive procedure guided by ultrasound. 

3. Freezing:

The eggs are frozen and stored in a liquid nitrogen tank for long-term storage. 

4. Thawing and IVF:

When ready to conceive, the eggs are thawed and fertilized with sperm in vitro, and the resulting embryos are implanted in the uterus. 

Success rates vary depending on several factors, including:

• Age at the time of freezing:Younger women generally have higher success rates. 
• Number of eggs frozen:More eggs increase the chances of at least one live birth later. 
• Individual fertility factors:Other factors, such as overall health and the quality of the eggs, also influence success. 

There is no time limit on how long eggs can be frozen, as they can be stored indefinitely without a decrease in quality. 

Yes, there is a procedure cost, and yearly storage.

With good ovarian function, between 10 and 15 mature eggs can be retrieved from one procedure.

No, egg freezing does not harm your natural fertility or reduce your ability to conceive naturally later on.

The eggs collected during the freezing process are from that specific cycle and do not affect the number of eggs your body will release in future cycles. Your ovaries will continue to function normally, and you can still try to conceive naturally when you’re ready.

Egg freezing simply gives you more options—and peace of mind—for the future.
