Start Your Egg Freezing Process With Us Today
The steps involved in the egg freezing process are quite similar to the initial stages of an In-vitro Fertilisation (IVF) cycle. Our experienced team of doctors will work closely with you to ensure that you are well taken care of and supported throughout the process.
Egg Stimulation:
You will receive a series of hormone injections for approximately two weeks.
Egg Maturation:
Regular ultrasound scans and blood tests will be conducted to monitor your response to the treatment. Once the eggs are mature, a final injection will be administered.
Egg Extraction:
Under sedation or general anaesthesia, the eggs will be retrieved from your body.
Egg Freezing:
Following extraction, an embryologist will examine the eggs. Only the mature eggs will be frozen. Most clinics employ a flash-freezing method called vitrification, which freezes the eggs at -197 degrees Celsius in under one minute. Vitrification is the preferred freezing method due to its high “post-thaw” survival rate, exceeding 90%. In contrast, the old freezing method resulted in a survival rate of only about 60%.
Egg Storage:
Frozen eggs are stored in tanks filled with liquid nitrogen, known as Dewars. These tanks are kept in assisted reproduction centres.
What Happens After Egg Freezing?
When you are ready to conceive, the eggs will be thawed and fertilized by injecting them with sperm. Upon successful fertilization, the resulting embryos will be transferred to the uterus.
