What Is Egg Freezing?
Egg freezing (oocyte cryopreservation) is a method to preserve a woman’s fertility by extracting, freezing, and storing her eggs for future use. This offers flexibility in planning for parenthood at a later time.
When Is the Right Time?
The best time to freeze your eggs is in your late 20s to early 30s—when egg quality and quantity are at their peak. While it's possible to freeze eggs later, success rates tend to decrease with age.
Who Should Consider It?
Egg freezing is ideal for women focusing on career, education, or those not ready for motherhood yet. It’s also beneficial for those undergoing treatments like chemotherapy, which may affect fertility.
What Is the Process Like?
The process involves hormonal stimulation over 10–14 days, followed by egg retrieval under mild anesthesia. The collected eggs are then frozen using vitrification and stored securely until you’re ready.
Benefits vs. Limitations
Egg freezing provides reproductive freedom and peace of mind. However, it’s not a guaranteed insurance policy. Not all frozen eggs survive thawing, and not all lead to successful pregnancy. An informed decision is crucial.
