Egg Freezing6 views

Egg freezing itself does not affect ovarian function or the ability to conceive naturally in the future. During egg freezing, ovarian stimulation injections are used to retrieve multiple mature eggs in one menstrual cycle. This affects only the follicles developing in that cycle and does not deplete the future egg reserve. The ovaries usually return to a normal cycle within 1 to 2 months after retrieval. However, egg quality is age-related; freezing at a younger age is associated with higher future live birth rates. If you are at risk of premature ovarian insufficiency or are planning ahead, consult a reproductive medicine specialist.
