Donor Tissue Counseling
The greatest benefit of egg freezing is time: time to build the life you want and grow your family when you’re ready. Freezing your eggs can preserve reproductive options for the future, giving you more flexibility around when and how you build your family. When you’re ready to see what that could look like, book a consult with a Spring Fertility physician.
People choose egg freezing for reasons as individual as their lives. Some are focused on goals they want to reach first. Others are preserving options ahead of medical treatment or gender-affirming care. Many simply want the freedom to decide later, without biology setting the deadline.
You don’t need a diagnosis or a deadline to explore egg freezing. A consultation can give you more information about your ovarian reserve, your options, and what egg freezing might look like for you. Big decisions deserve real support, so our integrative services team offers Fertility Wellness Counseling if you’d like a space to think it through.
You’ll meet your physician, review your medical history, and talk through your family-building goals. Your visit typically includes a few simple tests, such as a blood draw and a pelvic ultrasound.
The ultrasound counts your antral follicles, the resting follicles that each hold an immature egg. This count helps your physician understand your ovarian reserve and anticipate how you may respond to treatment.
From there, you’ll build a plan together, matched to your body, your goals, and your timeline.
Over a series of days, you’ll take self-administered hormone injections that encourage a group of follicles to grow together. Your care team teaches you every step before you begin.
Standardized protocols don’t serve patients well in fertility care. Your physician considers factors such as your age, ovarian reserve, medical history, and anticipated response when selecting your stimulation approach, then monitors your response throughout the cycle so treatment can be adjusted when clinically appropriate.
When your follicles reach maturity, a final trigger shot prepares your eggs for retrieval.
Retrieval is a brief outpatient procedure scheduled precisely after your trigger shot. Guided by ultrasound, your physician gently collects eggs from each follicle.
Your care team keeps you comfortable throughout, and you’ll rest at the clinic for a short time before a companion takes you home. Recovery looks different for every patient, and your physician will guide you on activity and what to expect.
Right after retrieval, an embryologist identifies the mature eggs and rapidly freezes them using a technique called vitrification, which minimizes ice crystal formation during freezing.
Your eggs are stored in cryotanks filled with liquid nitrogen, on-site in our lab, until you are ready to use them. Our embryology team combines meticulous attention to detail with advanced technology at every stage.
Planning a move? Frozen tissue can be shipped all over the world without issue.
Your antral follicle count, or AFC, is an important measure of your ovarian reserve and how you may respond to treatment. It isn’t a complete picture of your fertility, and that’s why a conversation matters. At your first consult, we’ll assess yours, discuss your family-building goals, and form a plan together.
NOW VS. LATER: WHAT ARE MY CHANCES?
The Spring Fertility data uses the same method as Study B (by Doyle and colleagues). However, since most of the blastocysts we transfer have been previously tested for number of chromosomes, we assess the likelihood of obtaining a “chromosomally normal” blastocyst, rather than simply an untested blastocyst.
At Spring Fertility, we update our numbers every quarter based on the available data. This data set is representative of eggs thawed by December June 1, 2026.
*Please keep in mind that these data vary from clinic to clinic and even physician to physician, so if you are not a Spring patient and are using this tool, we recommend that you inquire with your doctor/clinic to understand the rates that their patients experience.
3. Lastly, we input the live birth rate per transfer of a chromosomally normal embryo. This will depend on the success of your clinics cryopreservation and frozen embryo transfer protocols and implementation. This is not dependent on the age of the woman receiving the transferred embryo. At Spring this number is currently 70%.
Steps 2 and 3 can be eliminated and you can substitute the live birth rate per blastocyst if your center does not test many embryos before transferring them.
The resulting output from our data result in live birth rates per cryopreserved oocyte as follows:
| Spring estimated live birth probability | |||
| Maternal Age (years) | N = embryo samples with results | Euploid Rate (%) | Spring estimated efficiency* |
| <30 | 367 | 69% | 16.9% |
| 30 | 218 | 68% | 16.7% |
| 31 | 217 | 65% | 15.9% |
| 32 | 423 | 64% | 15.7% |
| 33 | 421 | 63% | 15.4% |
| 34 | 590 | 63% | 15.4% |
| 35 | 564 | 60% | 13.0% |
| 36 | 381 | 58% | 12.6% |
| 37 | 330 | 55% | 11.9% |
| 38 | 233 | 53% | 10.0% |
| 39 | 194 | 53% | 10.0% |
| 40 | 65 | 46% | 8.7% |
| >40 | 59 | 27% | 3.0% |

Payment and benefits options include:
We know that your time is valuable. Our goal is to provide you with everything that you need to know about egg freezing that you can access from the comfort of your home or during your commute. In this recording of an in-house info session you’ll learn more about the topic of fertility preservation – from the science behind how fertility works, to the process of egg freezing, as well as important factors to consider as you think about if it is right for you.
Egg quality and quantity are generally highest in your late 20s and early 30s, so freezing earlier tends to mean more high-quality eggs per cycle. Spring Fertility welcomes egg freezing patients under age 44, and a consult gives you personalized information about your own ovarian reserve.
Egg freezing is not expected to reduce your ability to conceive naturally afterward. A stimulation cycle works with eggs your body had already recruited for that month rather than drawing down eggs you would have ovulated in later cycles. When you’re ready to use your frozen eggs, they are thawed, fertilized in the lab, and transferred as embryos. Your physician can talk through what this means in light of your medical history.
Experiences vary. The retrieval is performed with medication for comfort, and some patients experience temporary bloating, cramping or discomfort afterward. Your care team will explain what to expect and provide individualized recovery guidance.
Cycle length varies by patient. Most patients complete stimulation over a series of days, with retrieval scheduled at a set interval after the trigger shot. Your physician will provide a timeline based on your treatment plan and your body’s response.
Research that Spring’s team contributed to, published in the Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics in February 2025, examined a 9-year study period and found that the duration of oocyte cryopreservation was not associated with thaw survival, fertilization, blastulation, ploidy, or pregnancy outcomes. Your physician can talk through what long-term storage means for your family-building plan.
Coverage varies by plan, and many patients use employer fertility benefits, financing, or HSA/FSA funds. Our financial team confirms your coverage and provides a personalized estimate before you start.
