Egg freezing, or oocyte cryopreservation, is a medical procedure where a woman’s eggs are extracted, frozen, and stored to extend their fertility window. 

The process involves stimulating the ovaries to produce multiple eggs, which are then harvested, cooled to sub-zero temperatures, and preserved. This technology allows women to delay childbearing while maintaining the option to use their eggs for conception later on in life. 

Egg freezing is often chosen by women facing age-related fertility decline, medical treatments that may impact fertility, or those pursuing career and personal goals. 

Though it doesn’t guarantee future pregnancy, it offers a proactive approach to preserve reproductive options and is increasingly considered by couples seeking greater control over their family planning timelines.

Assisted reproductive technology (ART) includes fertility treatments that involves handling either eggs or embryos. Two distinct procedures of ART that are now being widely opted by couples facing problems in conception are in vitro maturation (IVM) and in vitro fertilization (IVF).

Fresh embryo transfers were the only option when in vitro fertilization (IVF) was initially introduced due to the limited progress in cryopreservation techniques. However, over the past four decades, significant advancements in cryopreservation, culture media, and reproductive technologies have made both fresh and frozen embryo transfers (FETs) widely practiced. Nowadays, FETs are generally preferred, depending on the age of the couple, number of oocytes retrieved, quality of embryos, adequacy of the endometrial lining, and hormonal parameters.
