Egg Freezing-Empowering Women's Reproductive Choices

Egg freezing, also known as oocyte cryopreservation, is a medical procedure that involves extracting a woman's eggs, freezing them, and storing them for future use. It is typically done for two primary reasons: fertility preservation and elective fertility planning. Fertility preservation allows women to preserve their eggs when they are younger and at their peak fertility, to be used later if they face challenges conceiving due to age-related decline, medical treatments such as chemotherapy, or other personal circumstances. Elective fertility planning involves choosing to freeze eggs for personal or lifestyle reasons, such as pursuing education, career advancement, or finding the right partner. Egg freezing offers women the opportunity to extend their reproductive timeline, providing flexibility and control over their future family planning decisions.
