 We have all heard about celebrities openly admitting to the process of freezing eggs to preserve the possibility of becoming mothers. The techniques of freezing eggs and in vitro fertilization (IVF) have become the focal point of societal attention, attracting the curiosity of many women.

To address common questions about egg freezing, we have compiled the following information for you to explore.

Q1: What is egg freezing?

As women age, the chances of conception gradually decrease. The process of freezing eggs involves extracting eggs from a woman's body while in a healthy state and freezing them to prevent the natural aging process. When planning for conception, these frozen eggs can be thawed and used, maintaining their youthful state and increasing the chances of successful pregnancy.

Q2: Under what circumstances are people suitable for egg freezing?

Single women without a partner who wish to preserve their fertility in advance.

Women planning to delay pregnancy due to work commitments.

Women experiencing premature ovarian failure due to chromosomal, immune, infectious, or tumor-related factors.

Women undergoing extensive chemotherapy before treatment or experiencing ovarian damage due to repeated treatments for ovarian cysts.

Women with prolonged exposure to radiation.

Q3: How long can eggs be preserved in the United States?

The cost of freezing eggs varies among different hospitals. Generally, frozen eggs can be preserved for 5 years, 10 years, or even longer. These frozen eggs can be stored indefinitely, similar to frozen embryos, and can be successfully used after thawing.

Q4: Are there any risks associated with female egg freezing?

Since women produce only one egg per month, freezing eggs usually involve ovarian stimulation to obtain mature eggs. For those concerned about the potential overstimulation of the ovaries by fertility drugs, it's reassuring to know that fertility drugs in the United States are strictly regulated by the FDA. These drugs do not pose an additional burden on the body after completing one menstrual cycle. Doctors will adjust medication and dosage based on the development of ovarian follicles.
