Many women and persons born with ovaries may choose to start a family later in life due to evolving career paths, educational goals, or waiting for the right partner. This proactive decision allows them to take control of their biological timeline. Through cryopreservation (the process of freezing biological materials at extremely low temperatures), egg freezing is a form of fertility treatment that enables someone to preserve the youngest and most viable remaining versions of their eggs for future possible use, effectively pausing biological aging.
Egg freezing is also an excellent opportunity for transgender male patients who are planning gender affirmation surgery to preserve their options for future biological offspring.
The process typically involves stimulating the ovaries with precise hormone medications under careful hormone management to produce multiple eggs, then retrieving those eggs in a short outpatient procedure under sedation, and then freezing them using advanced vitrification techniques that protect their delicate structure for long-term storage. By preserving eggs during a person’s peak reproductive years, the process of egg freezing can help reduce age-related fertility challenges and provide greater flexibility and significant peace of mind when planning a family.
