you change. your eggs stay the same.

The moment that eggs are removed from an ovary, they immediately stop the aging process. Eggs can then be held in their frozen state for years (not aging one day more) before they are thawed and used to create embryos for pregnancy.

the benefit of time

Egg freezing helps you gain time and the list of possible reasons to freeze your eggs continues to expand.

Did you Know?
Compared to birth, less than half of your original eggs remain. Although your reproductive potential is quite good at this age, there is a slightly higher risk of making abnormal embryos than in your later 20’s.

your individual and comprehensive plan

Egg freezing is an opportunity to consider the whole picture of your future family building goals. The following are important to consider when formulating your plans

  • Current age
  • 1st child age
  • Total Children desired
  • Spacing between children
  • Any past medical history that may affect egg quality
  • Any testing suggesting diminished ovarian reserve
  • An “evolution of thoughts” Buffer

your chances

Based on your new patient ultrasound (antral follicle count) and hormone levels (AMH) we will be able to predict how many mature (fertilizable in future) eggs you should be able to achieve in a single cycle of egg freezing. Some women will want to pursue more than one cycle of ovarian stimulation to match their personal reproductive goals.
