Fertility Speciality >> Egg Freezing
What is Egg Freezing ?
Egg freezing is the process in which eggs are extracted from a woman and then frozen, together with several other processes for future use. At the time for starting or enlarging a family, the frozen egg will be thawed, fertilized, and implanted using the critical technique of in vitro fertilization (IVF). This medical treatment has been gaining momentum over the years with the increase in the number of people who choose not to have children for either personal reasons or medical grounds.
Who Can Benefit from Egg Freezing?
The Egg Freezing Process
The process of egg freezing is fairly simple and involves the following steps:
Consultation and Testing:
Initially, you will have an appointment with your fertility specialist. They will then ask you to undergo some tests to evaluate your ovarian reserve and overall reproductive health.
Ovarian stimulation:
You will be required to take fertility medications for 10-14 days to stimulate the ovary to produce more than one egg.
Egg retrieval:
When the eggs are mature, a small surgical procedure will be needed to retrieve their body. This will be performed under sedation, lasting about 20-30 minutes.
Freezing & Storage:
Once eggs are retrieved, they undergo an immediate freezing process referred to as vitrification, which sets them ultra-low temperatures until they are needed.
