Ovum Cryopreservation

Egg freezing, also known as mature oocyte cryopreservation, is a method used to preserve a woman's ability to get pregnant in the future. Eggs harvested from one’s ovaries are frozen unfertilized and stored for later usage. A frozen egg can be thawed, combined with sperm in a lab and implanted in your uterus (in vitro fertilization). Our doctors can help you understand how egg freezing works, the potential risks and whether this method of fertility preservation is right for you based on your needs and reproductive history.
