Egg freezing, also known as oocyte cryopreservation, egg freezing<\/em>Egg freezing, also known as oocyte cryopreservation, is a modern method of fertility preservation in which eggs are retrieved from the ovaries, frozen, and stored at very low temperatures for future use. The aim of the procedure is to protect a woman's reproductive potential, especially in a time when the decision to pursue motherhood is often postponed.<\/p>

When is Egg Freezing Recommended<\/strong><\/h3>

Egg freezing may be an appropriate option in situations such as:<\/p>

  • Delayed motherhood due to personal, social, or professional reasons<\/p><\/li>

  • Low ovarian reserve or a family history of premature ovarian insufficiency<\/p><\/li>

  • Advanced maternal age (ideally before 35\u201337)<\/p><\/li>

    1) Fertility assessment & personalized treatment plan<\/strong>
    Hormonal testing, AMH measurement, ultrasound, and medical history evaluation.<\/p>

    2) Ovarian stimulation<\/strong>
    Medication is administered to encourage the development of multiple follicles.<\/p>

    3) Egg Retrieval<\/strong>
    A short and painless procedure performed under light sedation.<\/p>

    4) Egg freezing (vitrification)<\/strong>
    The eggs are rapidly frozen to preserve them without damage.<\/p>

    5) Storage<\/strong>
    The eggs are stored under controlled conditions for as long as needed, until their future use.<\/p>
