In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) Egg Freezing
What Is Egg Freezing?
Oocyte freezing is a groundbreaking fertility procedure that combines the technology of IVF with the preservation potential of egg freezing. This process, also known as oocyte cryopreservation, offers a path to parenthood that aligns with your personal and professional life choices.
At Arbor Fertility, the journey begins with the careful harvesting of eggs from the ovaries, a procedure conducted under expert supervision. These eggs are then rapidly frozen to a sub-zero temperature, a method known as vitrification. This state-of-the-art process ensures the eggs are preserved without forming ice crystals, which could potentially damage them. When you decide the time is right, the frozen eggs can be thawed, fertilized with sperm in a laboratory, and the resulting embryos can be transferred to the uterus. This process maximizes the chances of conception, offering hope and possibilities for those who face challenges in the natural conception process.
