Egg Freezing | Fertility Preservation & Egg Retrieval in California

You Change. Your Eggs Stay the Same.

The moment that eggs are removed from an ovary, they immediately stop the aging process. Through advanced egg freezing (oocyte cryopreservation), eggs can remain in their frozen state for years – not aging one day more – before they are thawed and used to create embryos for pregnancy. This process allows you to preserve your fertility potential exactly as it exists today, under the guidance of Medical Director Peter Uzelac, MD.

the benefit of time

Egg freezing provides the benefit of time, allowing you to preserve your reproductive potential while life, goals, and circumstances evolve. As egg freezing becomes increasingly common in the Bay Area and across California, the list of reasons individuals choose fertility preservation continues to expand. Many patients also explore the benefits of egg freezing, including flexibility, medical security, and long-term family planning confidence.

An Expanding List of Reasons for Egg Freezing

women wanting a larger family and/or prolonged spacing between children

women with markers of diminished ovarian reserve (abnormal hormone levels or low ultrasound egg counts)

women with a strong family history of fertility struggles or early reproductive decline

women with predictors of a diminished response to ovarian stimulation

women with medical conditions, including cancer, that can affect egg supply (fertility preservation for cancer patients)

gynecological problems impacting egg

After the Egg Freeze: Your Individual and Comprehensive Plan

Egg freezing is an opportunity to reflect on your long-term family-building goals. When creating a personalized plan, it is helpful to consider:

Current age

Age at first child

Total children desired

Preferred spacing between children

Any past medical history that may affect egg quality

Any testing suggesting diminished ovarian reserve

An “evolution of thoughts” buffer to allow for life changes

This holistic approach ensures that your egg freezing plan aligns with your reproductive goals today and in the future.

your chances

Based on your new patient ultrasound (antral follicle count) and hormone levels (AMH), we can estimate how many mature eggs (fertilizable in the future) you may be able to freeze in a single cycle. Some women may pursue more than one round of ovarian stimulation to match their reproductive goals.

This predictive framework helps align the outcome of egg freezing with realistic expectations, family planning timelines, and the number of future children desired.
