Egg freezing, also known as cryopreservation of mature oocytes, is a procedure used to prolong a woman's ability to become pregnant at a predetermined time. Eggs are removed from a woman's ovaries, frozen unfertilized, and stored for later use. The frozen eggs can be thawed, combined with sperm in a laboratory, and implanted into the woman's uterus (in vitro fertilization). A specialist can help you understand how egg freezing works, the potential risks, and whether this method of fertility preservation is right for you based on your needs and reproductive history. In this article, we will provide you with everything you need to know about egg freezing.
