Freezing eggs (also known as egg freezing/cryopreservation) is a fertility preservation method that involves extracting, freezing, and storing a woman’s eggs at a low temperature until they are ready to be used. The process of extracting and freezing the eggs is similar to the In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) process in that it begins with giving the woman hormones to stimulate her ovaries to produce multiple eggs in one cycle instead of just one Egg. However, after collection, these eggs are frozen for later use rather than immediately fertilizing them and transferring embryos into the uterus. Freezing eggs does not guarantee pregnancy but can help preserve your fertility if you want to delay having children until life circumstances improve or risk factors such as age have decreased.
