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 that preserves woman's eggs for future use, mostly for delaying motherhood or cancer patients. In Greece, IVF clinics offer this service using advanced technology and expertise.
The cost range for egg freezing in Greece varies from €3000 to €6000 depending on the clinic and additional services. Patients must be healthy, preferably younger than 40 with an ample ovarian reserve.
