The egg freezing process
The cycle begins on day 2 or 3 of your menstrual cycle with injectable hormones to stimulate multiple follicles. Monitoring appointments track your response through ultrasound and blood tests over approximately 10 to 14 days. When follicles are mature, a trigger injection is given and egg retrieval is scheduled 36 hours later.
Egg retrieval is performed under sedation and takes around 20 minutes. Only mature eggs at the MII stage can be vitrified. The number of mature eggs retrieved varies by individual and is significantly influenced by age and ovarian reserve.
Vitrification and storage
Vitrification is the current standard freezing method. Eggs are rapidly cooled in cryoprotectant solution, preventing ice crystal formation that was a limitation of older slow-freeze techniques. Survival rates after thaw with vitrification are consistently higher than with earlier methods at experienced clinics.
Eggs are stored in liquid nitrogen at the clinic or connected laboratory. Most clinics charge an annual storage fee after the first year. Clarify storage terms, renewal procedures, and policies around egg disposition before starting a cycle.
Who benefits from egg freezing
Age at the time of freezing is the single most important factor in projected outcomes. Eggs frozen before 35 generally have a higher chance of resulting in a live birth than those frozen later. Younger patients with low ovarian reserve may also benefit from freezing earlier to preserve options before further decline.
Egg freezing is a way to preserve options, not a guarantee of a future pregnancy. The number of eggs needed for a reasonable chance of success varies by age and expected response to stimulation. Your specialist can give you a personalized estimate at consultation.
Using frozen eggs
When you are ready to attempt pregnancy, eggs are thawed and fertilized using ICSI. Not all eggs survive the thaw process. Embryos that develop from thawed eggs are assessed for quality and transferred in a frozen embryo transfer cycle using the same uterine preparation protocol as standard IVF.
The doctors listed on this page offer egg freezing across multiple countries. Compare clinic experience and pricing before scheduling a consultation.
