Overview
Overview
Egg freezing lets you store eggs now to use later. The first part works much like IVF: about two weeks of daily injections, then a short retrieval. Instead of being fertilized, your eggs are frozen with a fast-freeze method and stored safely.
Freezing is not a guarantee, and we will never treat it like one. The biggest factor is your age when you freeze. At your consult, your doctor will look at your own test results and give you a personal estimate of how many eggs you might expect, and what that could mean.
Who it is for

- You have not met the right partner yet, or are not sure
- Your egg supply is lower than expected for your age
- You are about to start a treatment that may affect fertility
- You are a trans man or nonbinary person planning before transition

People often ask us
What is the best age to freeze eggs?
Eggs frozen at younger ages tend to have better chances later. But the right time is personal. Your doctor will use your own test results, not a general rule, to help you decide.
How many eggs should I freeze?
It depends on your age and goals. Your doctor will give you a personal estimate. Some people choose a second cycle to bank more eggs.
How long can eggs stay frozen?
Frozen eggs stay stable in storage for many years. You can keep them stored as long as you need, and you can move them to another clinic if you relocate.
