What is the egg freezing process like?

Egg Freezing6 views
The egg freezing process usually includes: 1. Initial assessment: blood tests for ovarian function, such as AMH and FSH, and ultrasound assessment of the antral follicle count. 2. Ovarian stimulation: daily injections for about 10 to 12 days with regular monitoring of follicle growth. 3. Egg retrieval: eggs are retrieved under light anesthesia with transvaginal ultrasound guidance; the procedure takes about 20 minutes. 4. Egg freezing: mature eggs are preserved using vitrification. The whole cycle takes about 2 to 3 weeks. Bloating or light bleeding may occur after retrieval and usually resolves on its own. The exact process varies by person, so consult a reproductive medicine specialist.
