Empowering Women to Take Control of Their Fertility and Future


๐ŸŒฟ Introduction

In todayโ€™s world, more women are choosing to focus on career, education, or personal growth before starting a family โ€” and thatโ€™s a beautiful choice.

At our clinic, we believe every woman deserves the freedom to decide when and how to start her family โ€” safely, ethically, and confidently.

โ€œEgg freezing isnโ€™t about delay; itโ€™s about empowerment โ€” a way to preserve your choice.โ€
โ€” Dr. Aarthi Mani, Reproductive Endocrinologist


๐Ÿง  Understanding Fertility Preservation

Fertility preservation is the process of protecting your reproductive potential for future use.
For single women, this usually means freezing eggs or using donor sperm for IUI or IVF later.

Why Women Choose Fertility Preservation:

โœ… Delay motherhood due to career or personal goals
โœ… Medical conditions (like cancer or endometriosis)
โœ… Family history of early menopause
โœ… Desire for emotional or financial readiness

โ€œYour eggs age, but your dreams donโ€™t have to.โ€


๐Ÿงฌ Option 1: Egg Freezing (Oocyte Cryopreservation)

What Is It?

Egg freezing is a safe process that allows women to preserve their eggs when they are young and healthy, to use them later for pregnancy via IVF.

1๏ธโƒฃ Consultation & Ovarian Assessment
โ€“ Ultrasound & AMH test to check egg reserve.

2๏ธโƒฃ Ovarian Stimulation
