Why freeze your eggs?
Egg freezing (oocyte cryopreservation) allows you to preserve your fertility at a younger age, when egg quality is highest. At Fertilité Egg Bank, we use vitrification — a fast‑freeze method that prevents ice crystal damage and achieves excellent post‑thaw survival rates.
Who can benefit?
- Women who wish to delay childbearing for personal or professional reasons.
- Those facing medical treatments (chemotherapy, radiation) that may affect fertility.
- Women with a family history of early menopause or premature ovarian failure.
The Vitrification Process
Eggs are retrieved after a brief ovarian stimulation, then rapidly cooled to ‑196°C using cryoprotectants. This prevents ice crystal formation and preserves the egg’s integrity for years.
What to expect
The cycle involves about 10–12 days of hormone injections, regular monitoring via ultrasound and blood tests, and a minor egg retrieval procedure under sedation. Most women return to normal activities within a day.
