๐ง 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:
โ
Delay motherhood due to career or personal goals
โ
Medical conditions (like cancer or endometriosis)
โ
Family history of early menopause
โ
Desire for emotional or financial readiness
โYour eggs age, but your dreams donโt have to.โ

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.

โ Ultrasound & AMH test to check egg reserve.
2๏ธโฃ Ovarian Stimulation
โ 10โ12 days of mild hormone injections to mature multiple eggs.

โ Eggs are collected under light sedation (no pain).
4๏ธโฃ Freezing (Vitrification)
