The Egg Freezing Process Step by Step

Week 1-2: Assessment

Blood tests (AMH, FSH, estradiol)

Antral follicle count via ultrasound

Review of medical history

Discussion of realistic expectations

Week 2-4: Ovarian Stimulation

Daily hormone injections (10-14 days)

Regular monitoring ultrasounds (every 2-3 days)

Trigger shot when follicles are mature

Day of Retrieval

Outpatient procedure under light sedation

Takes about 15-20 minutes

Most women retrieve 8-15 eggs per cycle

Rest at home for 1-2 days after

After Retrieval

Eggs are vitrified (flash-frozen) immediately

Stored in liquid nitrogen tanks at -196°C

Can remain frozen for 10+ years with no quality loss

Who Should Consider Egg Freezing?

Women in their late 20s to mid-30s — egg quality declines significantly after 35

Before medical treatments — chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery affecting ovaries

Career or personal reasons — not ready for pregnancy but want to preserve options

Family history of early menopause

Single women in the UAE — egg freezing is available to married and unmarried women

Best Age for Egg Freezing

|----------------|----------------------------------------------|

Under 30	8-10 eggs
35-37	15-20 eggs
38-40	20-30 eggs
Over 40	30+ eggs (multiple cycles likely needed)

The sweet spot is before age 35 — younger eggs freeze better, survive thawing better, and have higher fertilization rates when you're ready to use them.
