Oocyte cryopreservation, another name for the egg freezing procedure, usually entails the following crucial steps:
Hormonal treatments, frequently in the form of daily injections, are used to stimulate a woman's ovaries to generate an abundance of eggs. Usually, this stage lasts between ten to twelve days. Using blood tests and ultrasounds, the woman's hormone levels and egg growth are continuously monitored throughout this time.
To get the eggs ready for retrieval, a trigger injection is given once they have reached maturity. This injection guarantees that the eggs will be ready for harvest in a predetermined amount of time.
The actual retrieval of eggs is a simple surgical operation that is usually performed under anesthesia or sedation. Mature eggs are extracted from ovarian follicles by inserting a tiny needle through the vaginal wall into the ovaries. Usually, this procedure takes twenty to thirty minutes.
Using a process known as vitrification, the collected eggs are promptly frozen following retrieval. By doing this, the eggs' potential to form ice crystals is inhibited, guaranteeing their integrity and viability while being stored.
Until the person chooses to utilize them, the frozen eggs are kept in a specialized cryogenic storage facility, in liquid nitrogen tanks.

There is usually no expiration date on frozen eggs, thus they can be kept for many years. For precise information, it is imperative to confirm with your concerned doctor as legal and storage laws may differ depending on the location and reproductive facility.
