Egg Freezing
Oocyte cryopreservation is the process of storing freshly retrieved eggs in a frozen state at a very low temperature. The extreme cold allows the eggs to stay preserved indefinitely and still function normally after they are thawed. When you decide to start your family, the eggs are thawed, fertilized, and transferred into the uterus.

Why Freeze My Eggs?
There are many reasons why a woman might decide to freeze her eggs for future use. You may simply want to extend your fertility a few more years while you work on your career goals, allow your relationship time to develop, or finish your education. Egg freezing has also had profound impacts on women facing impeded reproduction due to surgery or illness. When faced with treatments that will permanently affect your fertility, being able to freeze your eggs beforehand gives you the opportunity to still realize your dream of a family even after losing your ability to produce eggs. You may also be facing hereditary risks, such as early menopause, that prompt you to use fertility preservation. Egg freezing is also a great option for women facing gender reassignment surgery and allows them to still plan for biological children in the future. Freezing your eggs while you’re still young increases your chances for a healthy baby when you’re older. Research has shown that the critical factors in a successful pregnancy have to do with the age of the egg rather than the age of the woman – the younger and healthier the egg, the better chance of a successful pregnancy.

When Should I Freeze My Eggs?
The best time to freeze your eggs is in your 20’s and early 30’s while you still have a strong ovarian reserve (the number of eggs in your ovaries) and while those eggs are still healthy. The older you get, the less healthy your eggs become, but each case is different and ultimately, it depends on the woman and her body, health, and overall fertility.
