Egg freezing preserves your eggs at their current age for later use. Egg number and quality change with age, which is why timing is an important part of the decision.
In the consultation the doctor explains the steps: assessing ovarian reserve, stimulating the ovaries, collecting the eggs, then storage. She also discusses realistically what to expect: freezing improves the chances and does not guarantee a pregnancy.
The consultation also covers preserving fertility before cancer treatment or any treatment that may affect the ovaries, and a fertility check before marriage for those who want early reassurance.
What to expect at the visit
- Assessment of ovarian reserve and what the results mean
- The steps and how long they usually take
- A frank discussion of what suits your age and situation
Common questions
What is the right age to freeze eggs?
Results are generally better when eggs are frozen at a younger age, but the decision depends on your ovarian reserve, health and plans. Each case is assessed individually.
Can fertility be preserved before cancer treatment?
In many cases yes, coordinated with your oncologist because time matters. Book a consultation as soon as possible after diagnosis.
