The Process of Egg Freezing

The egg-freezing process involves several steps:

Initialation

During the first visit, you will meet with our fertility specialist to discuss your medical history, undergo a physical examination, and perform initial fertility tests.

Ovarian Stimulation

You will receive hormone injections for about 10-14 days to stimulate your ovaries to produce multiple eggs. Regular monitoring through blood tests and ultrasounds will track your progress.

Egg Retrieval

Once the eggs are mature, a minor surgical procedure called egg retrieval is performed. Under sedation, a needle is used to extract the eggs from the ovaries.

Freezing and Storage

The retrieved eggs are carefully frozen using a technique called vitrification, which prevents ice crystals from forming and damaging the eggs. The eggs are then stored in a secure, controlled environment until you are ready to use them.
