Not Ready Yet? Option for Future Parenthood: Egg Freezing
If you’re not ready to access donor sperm and start your family, egg freezing lets you preserve your fertility for the future. Many women choose to freeze their eggs due to due to the absence of a partner, a desire to focus on career goals, or to safeguard their female fertility in the face of medical concerns such as endometriosis or cancer treatment.
Egg freezing involves an IVF treatment, where the ovaries are stimulated to produce multiple eggs, which are collected and frozen using advanced vitrification technology. This preserves the eggs which can then be safely stored until you’re ready to use them to have a family. One of our fertility specialists will help you understand if this option aligns with your goals.
