What is Egg Freezing

What is Egg Freezing?

Egg freezing, or oocyte cryopreservation, is the collection and freezing of a woman's eggs so they can be used to attempt a pregnancy in the future. Because egg quality declines with age, freezing eggs while younger preserves a better chance for later.

Women freeze eggs for medical reasons — such as before cancer treatment — or for personal reasons, to give themselves time before starting a family. When she is ready, the eggs are thawed, fertilised by ICSI, and the resulting embryos are transferred.

Step by Step

How it works

A short IVF-style cycle to collect and freeze eggs.

01

Assessment

AMH, antral-follicle count and counselling on likely egg numbers.

02

Ovarian Stimulation

About two weeks of injections to grow multiple eggs, monitored by scan.

03

Egg Retrieval

Mature eggs are collected in a short procedure under sedation.

04

Vitrification

Mature eggs are flash-frozen and stored safely.

05

Future Use

Thawed, fertilised by ICSI and transferred as embryos when ready.

Freezing more eggs, and at a younger age, improves the chance of a future baby.

Success & Safety

Real chances, honestly explained

Every fertility journey is unique. Egg Freezing success rates depend on several medical and lifestyle factors.

Factors affecting success

  • Age at the time of freezing — the single biggest factor
  • The number of mature eggs frozen
  • Egg quality and survival on thawing
  • Laboratory and vitrification expertise
  • Uterine health at the time of future transfer
At Bavishi Fertility Institute, we focus on personalised treatment plans rather than one-size-fits-all success claims.

Younger age and more eggs improve the odds, but egg freezing preserves a chance — not a guarantee — of a future pregnancy. We give honest, age-based estimates.

FAQ

Egg Freezing — your questions answered

Earlier is better — ideally in your late twenties to early thirties — because egg quality and quantity decline with age. Freezing younger eggs gives the best future chance.

It varies with age, but more eggs improve the odds. After assessing your reserve, your specialist will advise a target number, sometimes over more than one cycle.

The injections cause minimal discomfort and egg retrieval is done under sedation, so it is not painful. Mild bloating afterwards settles quickly.

They are thawed, fertilised with sperm by ICSI, and the resulting embryos are transferred to the uterus in an IVF cycle.

Vitrification gives high egg-survival rates, though not every egg survives or fertilises — which is why the number frozen matters.
