Elective Egg Freezing (EEF)

Elective Egg Freezing, also known as oocyte cryopreservation, refers to the process of extracting, freezing and storing a woman’s eggs for future use.
After a thorough medical evaluation, the ovaries are stimulated to produce multiple eggs. Once these eggs have reached maturation, they are safely retrieved using a minimally invasive transvaginal ultrasound-guided needle aspiration, and frozen in subzero temperatures for preservation and future use.

Rest assured, an anaesthetic or light sedation will be used to ensure that you are kept as comfortable as possible during the procedure. This makes it a valuable option for women who wish to plan their pregnancy and preserve their healthy eggs for the future.
