Egg freezing is a way for women to preserve their fertility for the future. The process begins with a thorough evaluation, including medical history, fertility tests (such as hormonal blood work, ovarian reserve assessment, pelvic ultrasound, and semen analysis if needed), and lifestyle review to guide individualized planning. Preparation may involve supplements or medications to enhance egg and sperm quality. This is followed by ovarian stimulation, where daily hormone injections are given for around 10–12 days to encourage the growth of multiple eggs, monitored through scans and blood tests. Once the eggs reach the ideal size, a trigger injection is administered to mature them in preparation for retrieval. The eggs are then collected through a short procedure called ovum pickup, performed under general anesthesia using ultrasound guidance. This typically takes 20–30 minutes, and most women return home the same day with only mild cramping or bloating. The collected eggs are frozen using a rapid-freezing technique called vitrification, allowing them to be stored for future use. Many women choose egg freezing to delay pregnancy or before undergoing medical treatments like chemotherapy that could impact fertility.
