Egg Freezing (Oocyte Cryopreservation)

Egg freezing, also known as oocyte cryopreservation, is a modern fertility preservation technique that allows women to store their eggs for future pregnancy. This procedure helps women preserve their fertility when they are not ready to start a family but wish to keep the option open for the future.

At Meena IVF, egg freezing is performed using advanced laboratory techniques and strict medical protocols to ensure the safety and quality of the preserved eggs. The frozen eggs can later be thawed, fertilized with sperm through IVF, and transferred into the uterus when the woman decides to conceive.

Egg freezing provides women with greater flexibility in planning their family while preserving the quality of eggs at a younger age.

Who Can Consider Egg Freezing?

Egg freezing may be suitable for women who want to delay pregnancy for personal, medical, or professional reasons. It is also recommended for women who may undergo treatments that could affect their fertility.

  • Want to delay pregnancy for career or personal reasons
  • Are undergoing medical treatments such as chemotherapy
  • Have a family history of early menopause
  • Want to preserve fertility at a younger age

This option allows women to preserve healthy eggs and increase their chances of pregnancy in the future.

Egg Freezing Procedure

Fertility Evaluation

Doctors perform tests and ultrasound scans to evaluate ovarian reserve and reproductive health.

Hormonal medications are used for about 8–12 days to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs.

Egg Retrieval

Eggs are collected from the ovaries using a minimally invasive procedure performed under mild anesthesia.

Freezing & Storage

The retrieved eggs are frozen using a technique called vitrification and stored safely for future use.
