Fertility specialists have outlined key considerations for women planning to freeze their eggs to increase the likelihood of a successful pregnancy when they wish to have children later.
They stressed that while egg freezing can expand reproductive options, it does not guarantee future pregnancy.
However, they noted that factors such as age, overall reproductive health, cost, and the chances of future success of the procedure must be carefully evaluated before making the decision.
They explained that egg freezing offers women an opportunity to preserve their fertility for future use, particularly for those who wish to delay childbearing due to career, education, medical, or personal reasons.
Egg freezing, known as oocyte cryopreservation, is one form of assisted reproductive technology, according to a medical website, Healthline.
It added that during the procedure, medications are used to stimulate eggs to grow.
“Those eggs are then harvested from the ovaries and frozen for storage.
