Egg Freezing
If you’re looking to expand your family in the future, preserve your fertility options, or have recently received a diagnosis that requires chemotherapy, egg freezing is a safe and straightforward procedure that only takes about 10 to 12 days from start to finish.
Process:
To ensure successful egg freezing, it’s important for your eggs to grow and mature in your ovaries. During this time, you’ll receive simple injections of medications that promote egg growth and maturation. Your ovaries will be closely monitored using ultrasound and blood tests.
Once the tests show that your eggs are mature, they’re gently removed from your ovaries and quickly frozen, ready for use whenever you decide to start a family.
FAQ
What is the best age to freeze my eggs?
The number of eggs decline with age, so the sooner a woman has a child, the better the chance of achieving a healthy pregnancy. Eggs age just like our bodies do, so even if the egg number stays the same as five years ago, their “quality” declines.
Will I go into menopause sooner if I freeze my eggs?
Is there a risk of cancer?
Do frozen eggs have any side effects on the body?
Frozen eggs do not cause side effects on the body. However, if you have any health problems or concerns, it is recommended to consult a doctor or professional to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatment.
