Egg Freezing Process
Firstly, the woman is tested for any infectious diseases like HIV and hepatitis.
She'll then start the IVF process, which usually takes around 2 to 3 weeks to complete.
Instead of mixing the eggs with sperm (as in conventional IVF) a cryoprotectant (freezing solution) will be added to protect the eggs.
The eggs will then be frozen either by cooling them slowly or by vitrification (fast freezing) and stored in tanks of liquid nitrogen.
When the woman wants to use the eggs, they will be thawed and those that have survived intact will be injected with her partner's or donor's sperm. Clinical pregnancy rates have been estimated between 4-12% per oocyte.
