Egg Freezing (Oocyte Cryopreservation) is a fertility preservation procedure that allows women to store their eggs for future use. In this process, mature eggs are collected from the ovaries and carefully frozen using advanced laboratory techniques. These frozen eggs can later be thawed, fertilized, and transferred into the uterus when a woman is ready to plan pregnancy. Egg freezing is commonly chosen by women who wish to delay motherhood for personal or professional reasons, as well as those undergoing medical treatments that may affect fertility. It is also an option for women with reduced ovarian reserve or age-related fertility concerns. The procedure involves ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval, similar to IVF, but without embryo transfer at that stage. Egg freezing offers flexibility and reassurance by preserving fertility at a younger age. A fertility specialist evaluates individual health and reproductive goals to determine if egg freezing is a suitable option.
