How Does Egg Freezing Work?
Egg freezing, also called oocyte cryopreservation, is a fertility preservation option that allows eggs to be collected and frozen for potential future use. The process uses many of the same initial steps as IVF, but instead of fertilizing the eggs after retrieval, mature eggs are cryopreserved and stored.
An egg freezing cycle generally includes:
- Consultation and fertility evaluation: Your physician reviews your reproductive history, goals, ovarian reserve testing, and other relevant clinical information to develop an individualized treatment plan.
- Ovarian stimulation and monitoring: Fertility medications are used to encourage multiple follicles to develop. Ultrasound and bloodwork are used to monitor your response and help guide medication and timing decisions.
- Egg retrieval: When the follicles are ready, eggs are collected during an egg retrieval procedure.
- Egg freezing: Mature eggs are cryopreserved using vitrification, a rapid-freezing technique used in modern fertility laboratories.
- Storage: Frozen eggs can remain in cryostorage for potential future use. If you later decide to use them, the eggs are thawed and may be fertilized as part of an IVF cycle.
When Should You Consider Freezing Your Eggs?
There is no single age or life stage when egg freezing is right for everyone. Some people consider elective egg freezing because they want to preserve more reproductive options while delaying pregnancy. Others may consider fertility preservation before medical treatment or because of personal, reproductive, or family-building circumstances.
Age is an important consideration because both egg quantity and egg quality generally decline over time. However, deciding when to freeze your eggs can also depend on your ovarian reserve, reproductive goals, medical history, desired family size, and individual circumstances.
A fertility consultation can help you understand your current reproductive health, what testing can and cannot tell you, and how egg freezing may fit into your future plans.
Egg Freezing, Age & Future Outcomes
Freezing eggs preserves them at the age they are retrieved, which is one reason age at the time of egg freezing matters. In general, younger eggs are more likely to have the chromosomal characteristics needed to ultimately result in a healthy pregnancy, but age alone cannot predict an individual’s future outcome.
The potential value of an egg freezing cycle also depends on factors such as the number of mature eggs frozen, individual biology, and what happens if those eggs are eventually thawed, fertilized, and developed into embryos. Not every frozen egg will ultimately result in a baby.
Rather than relying on a single generic egg freezing “success rate,” your physician can help put age, ovarian reserve, expected response, and family-building goals into context when discussing how many eggs you may want to consider freezing and whether more than one cycle may be appropriate.
