Egg freezing

Egg freezing, or oocyte cryopreservation, is a medical procedure where a woman's eggs are extracted, frozen, and stored to preserve reproductive potential. This process involves hormone injections to stimulate the ovaries, monitoring through blood work and ultrasounds, and retrieving the eggs for freezing, with potential side effects including nausea, vomiting, and headaches. It is primarily targeted at women who wish to delay childbearing for personal or medical reasons, providing them with the option to use their eggs in future fertility treatments like in vitro fertilization (IVF).
