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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
