Egg freezing: How does it work?

Our egg freezing programs allow you to preserve your eggs in their optimal state. By maintaining strict laboratory standards and regulations, we ensure the safety and quality of the egg preservation process. Egg freezing offers flexibility and control, allowing you to preserve your fertility and start your family when the time is right for you.

The process begins with a detailed consultation with one of our egg freezing specialists. They'll assess your individual needs and fertility health. Our egg freezing services are available in the USA and Mexico, so you can choose the location that best suits your needs while ensuring the highest standard of care throughout the process.

The Egg Freezing Process

The egg freezing process is a series of carefully managed steps designed to preserve fertility. It begins with a personalized consultation to assess your individual health and our next steps. You'll then go through a period of ovulation stimulation to ensure multiple healthy eggs are ready for retrieval.

Once the eggs have matured, they're collected in a minimally invasive procedure. The final step is cryopreservation, where the eggs are frozen and stored in a controlled environment until you're ready to use them. This process ensures that your eggs remain viable for future use. Let’s discuss these steps in more detail now.

Consultation and Preparation

The first step in the egg freezing process is a consultation with a fertility specialist at our egg freezing center. During this consultation, your reproductive health is assessed through medical tests. We'll also review your medical history.

Based on the results, a personalized plan will be created to prepare your body for next steps. This preparation phase may include taking specific medications to stimulate your ovaries and produce multiple eggs, ensuring the best possible outcome during the retrieval process.

Ovulation

During the ovulation phase of egg freezing, your ovaries are stimulated to produce multiple eggs. This process is carefully monitored through regular ultrasounds and blood tests to track your hormone levels and your eggs’ development.

You'll be given hormone injections over the course of 10-14 days to encourage your ovaries to produce more eggs than they would during a normal cycle. Your fertility specialist will track your progress closely to ensure that the eggs are maturing at the right pace.

Egg Retrieval

Once your eggs have matured, you'll be scheduled for egg retrieval. This procedure is performed under sedation, ensuring that you remain comfortable throughout. Using a thin needle guided by ultrasound, the eggs are gently extracted from your ovaries.

The entire process usually takes about 20-30 minutes. After the retrieval, you can expect a short recovery time before going home the same day. The retrieved eggs are then taken to the lab, where they are evaluated for quality and prepared for the next step in the freezing process.

Cryopreservation

This step is where your eggs are frozen and stored in a controlled laboratory environment. At our egg freezing clinic, we use the most advanced freezing methods, including vitrification, which ensures that the eggs are frozen quickly and without forming ice crystals.

This process maintains the integrity and viability of your eggs, allowing them to be stored for years without losing quality. When you're ready to use your frozen eggs, they can be thawed, fertilized, and used for in vitro fertilization (IVF) to help you become pregnant.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it matter where you freeze your eggs?

Where you freeze your eggs is crucial for the process because not all egg freezing centers offer the same level of care or technology. Choose an egg freezing center that uses the latest advancements in cryopreservation, ensuring your eggs remain in optimal condition.
Egg freezing centers with strict laboratory standards, high success rates, and experienced specialists are essential to maximizing your chances of success. At Ingenes, our egg freezing services in both the USA and Mexico ensure the highest level of care and advanced technology.

How long does the egg freezing process take?

The entire egg freezing process typically takes about 2-3 weeks. It begins with an initial consultation followed by 10-14 days of ovarian stimulation. During this time, hormone injections are administered to encourage the production of multiple eggs.
Regular monitoring through ultrasounds and blood tests helps track the eggs’ development. Once the eggs have matured, they are retrieved in a minimally invasive procedure. After the retrieval, the eggs are frozen and stored. While the process may take a few weeks, it offers long-term fertility preservation benefits.

How many eggs should I freeze?

The number of eggs you should freeze depends on several factors, including your age and overall fertility health. During your consultation, the fertility specialist will discuss your options.
In general, younger women produce more eggs, and the quality of the eggs is higher.

For women in their 20s or early 30s, freezing around 10-15 eggs is often recommended to increase the chances of future pregnancy. Women over 35 may need to freeze more eggs due to the natural decline in egg quality with age.

Is freezing your eggs painful?

Freezing your eggs is not a painful process, but there may be some discomfort at certain stages. During the ovarian stimulation phase, you’ll receive hormone injections, which may cause mild bloating or discomfort similar to menstrual cramps.

The egg retrieval procedure is minimally invasive and performed under sedation, so you won’t feel pain during the process. After the retrieval, some women experience mild cramping or soreness, but this usually subsides within a day or two. Overall, the process is generally well-tolerated by most women.

What is the best age to freeze your eggs?

The best age to freeze your eggs is typically in your late 20s to early 30s, when egg quality and quantity are at their peak. During this time, women tend to produce more eggs that are healthier, increasing the chances of a successful pregnancy later on.

Every woman’s fertility is different, and some may choose to freeze their eggs earlier or later depending on personal or medical reasons. Your fertility specialist can help determine the best timing based on your individual circumstances.

How long can you freeze your eggs?

Eggs can be frozen indefinitely, meaning they can be stored for years without any significant decline in quality. The process of vitrification, a rapid freezing technique, ensures that the eggs remain viable for extended periods. There is no set expiration date for frozen eggs, and women have successfully used eggs that were frozen for over a decade. When you’re ready to use your eggs, they can be thawed, fertilized, and transferred as part of an in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedure.
