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 Ireland, this process involves stimulating the ovaries to produce multiple eggs, which are then retrieved and frozen for future IVF cycles.
Ireland has one of Europe's most advanced fertility clinics, with a high success rate in egg freezing. The waiting time is typically 1-2 months from consultation to procedure.
