Female Fertility Declines with Age
Fertility starts to decline in a woman’s early 30s and drops more sharply after 35, due to fewer and lower-quality eggs. Early awareness supports better family planning.
What is Egg Freezing?
Egg freezing, or oocyte cryopreservation, is a process where a woman's eggs are collected, frozen, and stored to preserve her reproductive potential. This procedure offers women the opportunity to delay childbearing, providing flexibility and peace of mind for the future.
The decline in fertility is due to the decrease in both the quality and quantity of eggs produced by the ovaries as women age. For instance:
- At Age 30: A woman typically needs around 6 eggs to create one high-quality embryo that could lead to a successful pregnancy.
- At Age 43: The number of eggs needed increases significantly, with about 18 eggs required to achieve the same outcome.
While egg freezing is not a guaranteed solution for future fertility, it provides a valuable option for women wanting to extend their reproductive timeline. Consulting with a fertility specialist can help you make informed decisions based on your individual circumstances and goals.

Your yourney through
the egg freezing process
Your Initial Consultation:
You will meet with your physician to learn more about the egg freezing process, discuss any questions, review your medical history, and run a few simple tests (a blood test and a pelvic ultrasound), to count your antral follicles.
These “resting follicles” each contain an immature egg that has the potential to mature and ovulate in the future. From there, we will be able to predict how many mature eggs you might get at your egg retrieval.
Personalized Plan
Once your blood test results are returned, your doctor will recommend a personalized plan. A few more tests may be recommended before beginning the stimulation process.
Our amazing doctor and nurse will help you understand how to administer the at-home hormone injections involved in the stimulation process.
Ovarian Stimulation and Monitoring
Here’s what to expect during the egg stimulation phase
Based on your initial consultation, your doctor will choose the most appropriate treatment protocol for your body – your journey is personalized from the start.
To stimulate your ovaries and grow multiple eggs, you'll begin daily hormone injections at home, typically using tiny, easy-to-use needles.
During this time, you’ll come into the clinic regularly for blood tests and ultrasounds so we can closely monitor how your body is responding and adjust your medication if needed. Our goal is to help all your follicles grow evenly, so we can retrieve the highest number of high-quality eggs possible.
When your hormone levels and follicle development are just right, your fertility specialist will guide you through the final “trigger” injection, which prompts your eggs to fully mature. Throughout the process, we’re here to support you every step of the way — with precision, care, and compassion.
Egg retrieval
About 36 hours after your trigger shot, you’ll come in for your egg retrieval procedure. This is a short 15–20 minute procedure, done under general anesthesia, without intubation, you’ll breathe on your own. This is done so you won’t feel any discomfort.
While you rest comfortably, your physician will collect the mature eggs. On the same day, our expert embryologists will carefully evaluate the retrieved eggs and cryopreserve (freeze) them using state-of-the-art technology, ensuring they’re safely stored for your future. It’s a simple, well-tolerated step — and a big move toward preserving your fertility on your own terms.

Cryopreservation
Your future, safely preserved – until the moment feels right for you
Once your eggs are retrieved, we’ll carefully freeze and protect them using advanced and internationally awarded cryopreservation technology. Because at Gynera, we don’t just freeze cells — we protect possibilities, dreams, and your future.
How will I use my frozen eggs someday?
When you’re ready to use your frozen eggs with a partner, or with donor sperm, here’s what will happen:
1. Your frozen eggs are thawed.
2. They’re fertilized with sperm in the lab.
3. Any resulting embryos are grown and then either:
- Transferred immediately to your uterus (fresh embryo transfer), or
- Frozen again for a future frozen embryo transfer (FET).
The benefits of FET include:
• Higher Success Rates: Innovations like vitrification (a rapid freezing process) have significantly increased embryo survival and live birth rates.
• Flexibility: FET allows you to plan transfers at the optimal time for your health and schedule.
• Cost Savings: By cryopreserving embryos during an initial cycle, you can avoid multiple egg retrieval procedures, reducing overall treatment costs.

FAQs about Egg Freezing
Everything you need to know about your journey to fertility preservation.
Does freezing my eggs affect my ovarian reserve?
No, freezing your eggs does not significantly affect your ovarian reserve. The ovarian stimulation process stimulates your ovaries to produce multiple eggs in one cycle, similar to natural cycles.
What happens if I never use my vitrified eggs?
If you never use your vitrified eggs, they can remain safely stored for many years. You also have options to use them according to your preferences.
What are the risks of social freezing?
Some risks are associated with ovarian stimulation or egg retrieval. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is perhaps the greatest medical risk associated with egg freezing. Mild to moderate symptoms of ovarian hyperstimulation may include: fatigue, nausea, headache, abdominal pain, tenderness, and irritability. These side effects are usually treated conservatively. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome can be prevented by carefully monitoring the egg stimulation cycle, which is managed by an experienced specialist.
Women who attempt to conceive using frozen and thawed eggs normally give birth to healthy children. The risk of birth defects in the baby is almost as low as for a child conceived naturally.
How successful are egg freezing procedures?
In an average egg freezing cycle, 80% of eggs will survive thawing, 70% will get fertilised, and 45% will develop into a pregnancy.
Clinical pregnancy rates have been estimated between 4-12% per survived oocyte.
When is the best time to talk to your doctor about social freezing?
Ideally, between 30-35 years of age is the best time. But if you are beyond this age group, you should still consult us to understand what your options are.
How many eggs should I freeze, and how many cycles will I need?
There is no guaranteed number of frozen eggs that will ensure a successful pregnancy, but your doctor can provide guidance on how many eggs to freeze based on your age and ovarian reserve. Typically, the older you are, the more eggs you should freeze, and you may need more cycles to achieve your goal. This decision is highly dependent on your age.
