Egg Freezing / Preservation
Egg freezing, also known as oocyte cryopreservation, is a process that allows women to preserve their fertility by freezing their eggs for future use. This advanced reproductive technology offers women the opportunity to delay childbearing while maintaining the quality of their eggs.
The Egg Freezing Process
- The process begins with ovarian stimulation using fertility medications to encourage the development of multiple eggs. This is carefully monitored through blood tests and ultrasounds to ensure optimal egg development.
- Once the eggs reach maturity, they are retrieved through a minor surgical procedure called egg retrieval. The procedure is performed under sedation and typically takes 15-20 minutes.
- The retrieved eggs are immediately frozen using a process called vitrification, which preserves them at extremely low temperatures. This advanced freezing technique maintains egg quality and viability for future use.
Benefits of Egg Freezing
- Preserve fertility for women who want to delay childbearing due to career, education, or personal reasons. This is especially valuable for women in their late 20s to early 30s.
- Maintain egg quality by freezing eggs when they are at their peak fertility. This can be particularly beneficial for women facing medical treatments that may affect fertility.
- Provide peace of mind and reproductive options for the future. Frozen eggs can be stored for many years and used when the time is right for starting a family.
Common Questions
What is the cost of egg freezing and preservation?
The cost of egg freezing includes ovarian stimulation medications, egg retrieval procedure, vitrification process, and annual storage fees. Egg freezing costs vary based on the number of cycles needed and storage duration. We provide transparent pricing and can discuss payment plans to make egg preservation accessible.
How much does it cost to freeze eggs for future IVF?
Egg freezing costs for future IVF use include the stimulation cycle, retrieval procedure, freezing process, and storage. The total cost depends on your specific needs and how many eggs are retrieved. We offer comprehensive packages and can provide detailed cost breakdowns during your consultation.
What are the costs associated with egg preservation?
Egg preservation costs include medical procedures, medications, laboratory fees, and ongoing storage. The initial cost covers the complete freezing process, while annual storage fees apply for long-term preservation.
