Overview
Egg freezing involves ovarian stimulation and retrieval followed by vitrification of unfertilized mature oocytes for future use.
Common Indications
- Elective fertility preservation
- Before medical treatment that may affect fertility
- Personal or professional timing considerations
How It Works
- Ovarian stimulation and monitoring.
- Egg retrieval under sedation.
- Vitrification of mature eggs.
- Storage until intended use.
Considerations
- Success in later use depends on the number and quality of eggs frozen, which is strongly age-related.
- Freezing does not guarantee a future live birth.
