Why freeze your eggs?
Egg freezing might be right for you if:
Egg freezing is most effective for those under 38 years old (ideally age 30-34) with a good ovarian reserve, but everyone’s fertility journey is different. Let’s talk about yours!
What to expect
Egg freezing, also known as oocyte cryopreservation, is where the ovaries are stimulated, eggs are carefully retrieved, frozen, and stored for later use. It’s a way to preserve fertility now, so that when the time is right, the eggs can be thawed, fertilized, and used to start a family.
From start to storage, the entire process can take as little as 4–6 weeks. Here’s how it works:
We’ll review your medical history, do bloodwork and an ultrasound to check your ovarian reserve, and talk through your goals.
You’ll take hormone injections at home to encourage your ovaries to produce multiple eggs. Our goal? To retrieve as many mature eggs as possible.
During stimulation, you’ll come in for short ultrasounds and bloodwork appointments so we can track your progress. Then, a special trigger shot is the final step before retrieval.
We’ll perform a quick, minimally invasive procedure under anesthesia (the best 10 minute nap of your life!) to collect your eggs. After about an hour of recovery in our care, you’ll be able to head home. Most patients feel ready to return to their usual routine the next day, returning to exercise and more intense activity within a week or two
Mature eggs are then flash-frozen and safely stored until the time is right. Because your future deserves to be on your terms.
When You’re Ready
When you’re ready to move forward with your family goals, your eggs can be thawed, fertilized with partner or donor sperm, and transferred or frozen at the embryo stage. And if your plans have changed, we’ll guide you through your options, whether it’s storage, donation, or discarding.
