Egg Freezing

Egg freezing (oocyte cryopreservation) is a process where a woman’s eggs are extracted, frozen, and stored for future use. This fertility preservation technique is often used by women who want to delay childbirth for personal or medical reasons, such as undergoing treatments like chemotherapy. The process involves stimulating the ovaries to produce multiple eggs, retrieving and freezing them through vitrification, and storing them for potential fertilization later via in vitro fertilization (IVF). While success rates vary, especially with age, egg freezing offers an option to preserve reproductive potential for the future.
