Egg Freezing: Is It Right for You?
With Dr. Mahalakshmi Saravanan · ARC International Fertility Hospital
Egg freezing has become an increasingly popular option for women looking to preserve fertility for the future. Here is what the process involves.
Why Consider Egg Freezing
Career planning, delayed relationships, or medical treatments that affect fertility are common reasons women choose to freeze their eggs.
The Freezing Process
Similar to the first stages of IVF, it involves ovarian stimulation followed by egg retrieval and freezing using a technique called vitrification.
Success Rates & Timing
Egg quality and quantity decline with age, so freezing earlier generally yields better outcomes when eggs are eventually used.
What Happens Next
When ready to use the eggs, they are thawed, fertilized, and transferred as embryos in a process similar to standard IVF.
