In today’s world, women are redefining their life timelines. Whether it’s focusing on career, traveling, or waiting for the right partner, life doesn’t always align with the biological clock. That’s where egg freezing, also known as oocyte cryopreservation, comes into play. Egg freezing offers women a proactive option to preserve their fertility for the future. In this blog, we’ll break down everything you need to know about egg freezing, its benefits, and how New World Fertility can guide you through the process.

What Is Egg Freezing?

Egg freezing is a medical process where a woman’s eggs are extracted, frozen, and stored for future use. This technology allows women to pause their biological clock by preserving their younger, healthier eggs until they are ready to start a family.

The procedure involves using advanced freezing techniques, such as vitrification, which rapidly cools the eggs to subzero temperatures. This minimizes the risk of ice crystal formation and maximizes the chances of successful fertilization later.

Why Consider Egg Freezing?

1. Declining Fertility with Age

Women are born with approximately 1 to 2 million eggs, but by puberty, this number decreases to around 300,000. As women age, both the quantity and quality of their eggs decline. For example, a woman in her 20s has about a 25-30% chance of conceiving naturally each month, while a woman in her 40s has less than a 5% chance. Egg freezing provides an opportunity to preserve eggs at their healthiest stage.

2. Medical Conditions or Treatments

Egg freezing is a valuable option for women undergoing medical treatments like chemotherapy or radiation, which can affect fertility. Women with conditions such as endometriosis or premature ovarian insufficiency may also benefit from egg freezing.

3. Personal or Career Goals

Whether focusing on career milestones or waiting for the right time to have children, egg freezing offers women more flexibility and control over their reproductive timeline.

4. Preventive Measure

For women with a family history of early menopause or genetic disorders affecting fertility, egg freezing can act as an insurance policy.

The Egg Freezing Process

Step 1: Consultation

The journey begins with an initial consultation at New World Fertility. Here, our specialists will discuss your medical history, conduct fertility assessments, and guide you through the process.

Step 2: Ovarian Stimulation

Over 10-14 days, you’ll receive hormonal injections to stimulate your ovaries to produce multiple eggs. During this time, regular monitoring via ultrasounds and blood tests ensures optimal egg growth.

Step 3: Egg Retrieval

Once the eggs are ready, they are retrieved through a minor outpatient procedure. Using ultrasound guidance, a needle is inserted into the ovaries to collect the eggs. This procedure takes about 20-30 minutes and is performed under sedation.

Step 4: Freezing and Storage

The retrieved eggs are then frozen using vitrification and stored in a secure, temperature-controlled environment until you’re ready to use them.

Success Rates and Key Statistics

• The average survival rate of frozen eggs after thawing is around 90-95%.

• Eggs frozen before age 35 have the highest success rates.

• A single egg has a 4-12% chance of leading to a live birth, so freezing multiple eggs is recommended.

FAQs About Egg Freezing

1. How many eggs should I freeze?

It depends on your age and future family goals. For women under 35, freezing 10-15 eggs is typically recommended to have a good chance of future success.

2. Does egg freezing guarantee a pregnancy?

No, but it significantly increases your chances of conceiving with your own eggs in the future.

3. Is the procedure painful?

Most women report mild discomfort during ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval. The procedure itself is performed under sedation, ensuring a pain-free experience.

4. How long can eggs remain frozen?

Eggs can be safely stored for many years. Studies have shown that frozen eggs maintain their quality over time.

5. What are the costs of egg freezing?

Costs vary based on individual needs, including the number of cycles required. At New World Fertility, we provide transparent pricing and financing options.
