Egg Freezing

Egg Freezing: Preserving Your Future Possibilities

Egg freezing offers the freedom to pursue your life’s
timeline on your terms. Whether you’re focusing on career goals, haven’t found
the right partner, or are facing a medical treatment that may impact fertility,
freezing your eggs is a powerful way to preserve the potential for a family in
the future.

This advanced technology allows you to preserve your eggs at
their current health and quality, effectively “pausing” your
biological clock. It’s an act of hope and a proactive step toward keeping your
options open.

How Does Egg Freezing Work?

The egg freezing process is similar to the first stage of an
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) cycle. Our goal is to safely retrieve and freeze
multiple eggs to increase your future chances of success.

The process typically involves these key steps:

1. Initial
   Consultation & Testing: We begin with a thorough assessment
   of your ovarian reserve through blood tests and an ultrasound. This helps
   us understand your personal fertility potential and create a customized
   treatment plan.
2. Ovarian
   Stimulation: For about 10-12 days, you will self-administer
   gentle hormone injections to stimulate your ovaries to develop multiple
   eggs, rather than the single egg that typically matures each month.
3. Monitoring: During
   stimulation, you will have regular, brief monitoring appointments at our
   clinic. These include ultrasounds to track the growth of the follicles
   (which contain the eggs) and ensure your medication dosage is optimal.
4. Egg
   Retrieval: This is a minor surgical procedure performed under
   light sedation. Using an ultrasound guide, our doctor will gently collect
   the eggs from your ovaries. The procedure itself takes about 15-20
   minutes, and you can go home the same day to rest.
5. Freezing
   (Vitrification): Immediately after retrieval, the mature eggs are
   rapidly frozen using a state-of-the-art process called vitrification.
   This flash-freezing technique prevents the formation of ice crystals,
   ensuring your eggs are preserved with the highest possible survival rate
   upon thawing.

Who Can Benefit from Egg Freezing?

• Medical
  Reasons: For women diagnosed with cancer or other illnesses
  requiring treatments like chemotherapy or radiation that can damage eggs.
  Freezing eggs before treatment can safeguard fertility.
• Elective
  or Social Reasons: For healthy women who wish to delay
  childbearing for personal, educational, or career reasons. This is often
  referred to as elective fertility preservation.
• Family
  Planning: For those who may be considering single motherhood in
  the future but are not ready now, or for couples not yet ready to start a
  family.

Key Considerations: Age and Success Rates

The most important factor in the success of egg freezing
is your age at the time of freezing. Younger eggs (typically from
women in their 20s and early 30s) have a lower rate of chromosomal
abnormalities and a higher chance of leading to a healthy pregnancy later on.

It’s crucial to understand that egg freezing does not
guarantee a future baby. However, it significantly increases your options. When
you are ready to use your frozen eggs, they will be thawed, fertilized with
sperm to create embryos, and then transferred to your uterus. The success will
then depend on the quality of the thawed eggs and your age at the time of the
embryo transfer.
