Preserving fertility through egg freezing is a revolutionary step for women who wish to secure their ability to have a family in the future. This modern procedure offers flexibility and reassurance for various life circumstances, making it an essential option for many. Below, we provide a comprehensive overview of the egg-freezing process and its benefits.

What Is Egg Freezing?

Egg freezing, or oocyte cryopreservation, is a process where a woman’s eggs are collected, frozen, and stored for future use. This allows women to delay pregnancy until they are ready, either due to medical, personal, or professional reasons. By preserving eggs at their ideal time, women retain the opportunity to conceive later in life when natural fertility may decline.

The 5 Stages of Egg Freezing
  1. Consultation

    The process begins with a consultation where the fertility specialist evaluates your medical history and discusses your goals. This step ensures personalized care and helps determine the best plan for your fertility preservation.

  2. Blood Tests and Investigations

    * Hormonal tests and ovarian reserve tests help determine if egg freezing is a suitable option. These may include:
    Hormonal and ovarian reserve tests help determine if egg freezing is a suitable option. These may include:
    Hormonal profiling
    Antral follicle count (AFC)
    AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) levels
    Investigations help customize the treatment and optimize outcomes.

  3. Ovarian Preparation

    During this stage, patients undergo a controlled ovarian stimulation process with medications to produce multiple eggs. Regular scans and blood tests monitor the progress, ensuring the best results while minimizing risks.

  4. Egg Collection

    The procedure involves collecting eggs from the woman’s ovaries using a needle that is passed through the vagina and into each ovary under ultrasound guidance and deep sedation.

  5. Egg Freezing and Storage

    The collected eggs are frozen using advanced vitrification technology, which minimizes ice formation and ensures better survival rates. They are then securely stored in state-of-the-art facilities, ready for future use.
