Egg Freezing

Egg freezing, also known as oocyte cryopreservation, is a process where a woman’s eggs are collected, frozen, and stored for future use. This option is increasingly popular among women who want to preserve their fertility for personal or medical reasons. Whether due to career planning, health concerns, or simply wanting to delay motherhood, egg freezing provides women with more control over their reproductive timelines. By freezing eggs at a younger age, when they are generally healthier and more viable, women can increase their chances of a successful pregnancy later in life. 

Gentle, Precise & Safe

The process of harvesting eggs for freezing involves several steps. First, a woman undergoes hormone treatments for about 10-14 days to stimulate her ovaries to produce multiple eggs, instead of the single egg typically released during a menstrual cycle. Once the eggs are mature, they are retrieved in a minor surgical procedure called egg retrieval. During this procedure, Dr. Nastaran Foyouzi, with her extensive experience, carefully uses an ultrasound-guided needle to collect the eggs from the ovaries. The entire process is usually done under light sedation and is relatively quick, with minimal discomfort. After retrieval, the eggs are immediately frozen and stored in a specialized facility for future use. 

Preserving Your Fertility

The benefits of egg freezing are significant. It provides you with the opportunity to preserve your fertility at a time when your eggs are most likely to be healthy, giving peace of mind when you decide to start a family . Dr. Foyouzi’s expertise in reproductive genetics ensures that the eggs are of the best possible quality, and her personalized approach means that she tailors the process to your unique circumstances. By offering advanced techniques and compassionate care, Dr. Foyouzi helps you make informed decisions about your fertility, empowering you to take charge of your reproductive future
