Empowering Your Future Fertility
Egg freezing, also known as oocyte cryopreservation, is a revolutionary option for women who want to preserve their fertility for the future. At Full Circle Fertility, we offer personalized egg freezing services to help women safeguard their reproductive options, whether for personal, medical, or career-related reasons. This procedure allows women to store healthy, viable eggs for later use, providing peace of mind for those who may not be ready to start a family immediately but wish to retain the opportunity for conception down the road.
Navigating EGG FREEZING
Egg freezing involves several key steps to ensure optimal outcomes. Here’s what you can expect:
- Initial Consultation: You’ll meet with one of our fertility specialists to discuss your medical history, reasons for freezing eggs, and the process itself.
- Ovarian Stimulation: Hormonal medications are prescribed to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs in one cycle. This is monitored with ultrasounds and blood tests to track the progress.
- Egg Retrieval: Once the eggs are mature, they are retrieved from the ovaries in a minor outpatient procedure performed under sedation.
- Freezing: The retrieved eggs are carefully frozen and stored in liquid nitrogen. They can remain in storage for many years without diminishing their quality or fertility potential.
- Future Use: When you’re ready to try to conceive, the eggs can be thawed, fertilized with sperm, and implanted into the uterus through IVF.
There are several reasons why women choose to freeze their eggs, including:
- Delaying Parenthood: Focus on your career, education, or personal goals without worrying about the ticking biological clock.
- Medical Treatments: Preserve your fertility before undergoing treatments like chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery that may affect your ability to conceive.
- Reproductive Health Concerns: Women with conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or those approaching advanced maternal age may choose egg freezing to ensure future fertility options.
- Preserves Fertility: Egg freezing gives you the opportunity to preserve your healthiest eggs for future use.
- Flexibility: Allows you to wait until you’re ready for children without the pressure of age-related fertility decline.
- Peace of Mind: Provides peace of mind for women who want to take control of their reproductive health.
- No Immediate Commitment: Unlike embryo freezing, egg freezing doesn’t require a sperm donor or partner, making it an ideal option for single women or those who aren’t yet ready to choose a partner.
