SOCIAL EGG FREEZING

SOCIAL EGG FREEZING

Social egg freezing, sometimes referred to as elective egg freezing, allows a woman to save her eggs with the purpose of using them later; this creates time flexibility in terms of family building. It might be chosen in the event of a career, personal, or lifestyle rationale that may be behind the postponement of the start of a family. The process involves ovarian stimulation for the production of multiple eggs, following which they are retrieved and frozen for later use. Once a woman is ready to get pregnant, the eggs are thawed and fertilized with sperm; thereafter, the formed embryos are implanted into the uterus. Social egg freezing extends a woman's fertility window and thus ensures she has more control over her reproductive choices and timing.
