Preserve your fertility on your own timeline — with expert, doctor-led care.
Egg freezing, medically known as oocyte cryopreservation, is a fertility preservation procedure in which a woman's eggs are collected, matured, and frozen for future use. The eggs are preserved using vitrification — an ultra-rapid freezing method that protects egg quality by preventing ice-crystal damage — so they remain viable for use whenever the woman is ready to try for pregnancy.
Whether the reason is personal timing, career and education goals, or an upcoming medical treatment that could affect fertility, egg freezing gives women a way to hold on to their reproductive options rather than leaving them to chance.
Your fertility specialist will assess your ovarian reserve and personal circumstances to help you decide if — and when — egg freezing makes sense for you.
Egg freezing isn't a one-size-fits-all decision — women choose it for a range of personal and medical reasons. Here's a closer look at who typically benefits most.
You want to focus on your professional or personal goals before starting a family.
You haven’t found the right life partner yet but hope to have biological children in the future..
These treatments can permanently damage the ovarian follicle pool. Freezing eggs beforehand protects reproductive options for after recovery.
Each additional surgery on the ovaries — for example, removing endometriomas — can further reduce the egg supply. Women facing a second or third such procedure often consider freezing eggs in advance..
Conditions such as a Fragile X premutation, mosaic Turner syndrome, or autoimmune ovarian inflammation can accelerate reserve loss, making earlier preservation worthwhile.
If your mother or sister went through menopause before age 45, your own egg reserve may decline faster than average — a baseline fertility check and earlier freezing may be worth discussing with your doctor.
Women with endometriosis or those planning ovarian surgery may consider egg freezing to help preserve their future fertility options.
A routine fertility check-up may reveal a lower-than-expected ovarian reserve for your age. If you’re considering future motherhood, discussing egg freezing sooner may help preserve more fertility options.
Here's what a typical egg freezing cycle looks like at our Pimpri Chinchwad centre.
We begin with hormone testing, a pelvic ultrasound, and a complete fertility evaluation to understand your current ovarian reserve and overall reproductive health.
You'll be prescribed hormonal medication to encourage your ovaries to develop multiple mature eggs in a single cycle, rather than the single egg released naturally each month.
Throughout stimulation, regular ultrasounds and blood tests track how your eggs are developing, helping our team fine-tune your medication and time the next step precisely.
Once the eggs are mature, a short procedure is performed under anaesthesia to retrieve them directly from the ovaries. This is a quick, outpatient process with minimal recovery time.
The retrieved eggs are immediately frozen using vitrification — a rapid-freeze technique that avoids ice-crystal formation and preserves egg quality far better than older, slow-freezing methods.
Your frozen eggs are securely stored in specialised liquid nitrogen tanks, where they remain preserved and ready for use whenever you decide the time is right.
Freezing your eggs locks in their quality at the time of the procedure, protecting them from the natural age-related decline that would otherwise continue year after year.
Whether you're waiting for the right partner, focused on your career, or simply not ready yet, egg freezing lets you plan motherhood around your own personal and professional timeline.
Once vitrified, eggs can remain safely stored for many years, giving you the freedom to decide when — or if — you want to use them.
Eggs frozen at a younger age generally lead to better outcomes later, since both egg quality and quantity are at their strongest before your mid-thirties.
Knowing your eggs are safely preserved can ease the pressure many women feel around finding a partner or reaching certain life milestones "in time" to conceive.
Women facing repeat procedures that could affect ovarian tissue — such as for endometriosis — can use egg freezing as a precaution to safeguard their future fertility.

IVF Procedure Explained (Hindi)
While egg freezing can be done at various ages, outcomes are generally best when done in the late twenties to early thirties, when egg quality and quantity are at their peak.
This varies by age and individual ovarian reserve. Your fertility specialist will recommend a target number based on your AMH level, age, and future family-planning goals.
The egg retrieval procedure is performed under anaesthesia, so you won't feel pain during the process. Mild cramping or bloating for a day or two afterward is normal.
Vitrified eggs can remain viable in storage for many years without a significant decline in quality, though storage duration is subject to your clinic's policies and applicable regulations.
No. Egg freezing preserves the eggs at their current quality, but future pregnancy still depends on factors like how many eggs survive thawing, fertilisation success, and uterine health at the time of use.
Yes. In fact, this is one of the most important uses of egg freezing. When timed appropriately with your oncologist, eggs can often be retrieved and frozen before chemotherapy or radiation begins.
Egg freezing preserves unfertilised eggs, giving you flexibility on choosing a partner or sperm source later. Embryo freezing involves fertilising the eggs first, which requires a sperm source at the time of freezing.
It depends on your ovarian reserve and age. Some women achieve their target egg count in a single cycle, while others may need two cycles for a stronger reserve of frozen eggs.
Egg freezing involves ovarian stimulation, monitoring with scans and blood tests, and egg retrieval under anaesthesia. The mature eggs are then vitrified and stored for future use.
Yes, frozen eggs can be thawed and fertilised when you decide to pursue pregnancy, subject to your fertility specialist’s assessment and applicable regulations.
