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.
