Egg freezing, sometimes referred to as mature oocyte cryopreservation, is a technique used to preserve women's future fertility. Unfertilized eggs taken from your ovaries are frozen and kept for later use. It is possible to thaw a frozen egg, combine it with sperm in a lab, and implant it in your uterus (in vitro fertilization). Based on your needs and reproductive history, your doctor can help you understand how egg freezing works, the potential hazards, and whether this technique of fertility preservation is right for you.

Egg freezing is a fertility treatment where mature eggs are harvested and frozen for later use. In Australia, this process involves monitoring egg development, retrieving eggs via minor surgery, and freezing them using cryopreservation techniques.
Australia's egg freezing costs range from AUD 6,000 to AUD 15,000 depending on the clinic and individual circumstances. Waiting time for a consultation is typically 1-2 weeks.
