Egg Freezing in Indore: Preserve Your Fertility for Later
Thinking of freezing your eggs? Learn the best age, how the process works, how many eggs you may need, storage rules and cost. Confidential consultation.
Egg freezing (oocyte cryopreservation) allows a woman to store some of her eggs now and use them for pregnancy in the future. Women choose it for many reasons: career or education plans, not having found the right partner yet, or before medical treatments that may harm the ovaries. At Asian Navkar Hospital, Indore, egg freezing is done using vitrification, a fast-freezing method that protects eggs from ice-crystal damage.
Who Should Consider Egg Freezing?
- Women who wish to delay pregnancy for personal, educational or career reasons
- Women about to start chemotherapy, radiotherapy or ovarian surgery (see fertility preservation)
- Women with low AMH or a family history of early menopause
- Women with endometriosis who may need repeated surgery
- Couples undergoing IVF when sperm is not available on the day of egg collection
What Is the Best Age to Freeze Eggs?
Egg quality declines with age, and the age at which eggs are frozen strongly influences the chance of a future live birth. Freezing in your late twenties or early-to-mid thirties generally gives better results than freezing after 38. Freezing at a later age is still possible, but more eggs, and sometimes more than one cycle, may be needed, and the chance of success per egg is lower. Your doctor will help you weigh this using your AMH and ultrasound.
The Egg Freezing Process Step by Step
- Consultation and tests – AMH, ultrasound follicle count, infection screening and general health tests.
- Ovarian stimulation – about 10–12 days of hormone injections, with regular scans to monitor follicles.
- Trigger injection – to mature the eggs.
- Egg collection – a 15–20 minute procedure under short anaesthesia, done through the vagina with ultrasound guidance. You go home the same day.
- Vitrification – mature eggs are frozen within hours in the embryology laboratory and stored in liquid nitrogen.
- Future use – when you are ready, eggs are thawed, fertilised by ICSI and the resulting embryo is transferred to your uterus.
How Many Eggs Should I Freeze?
There is no number that guarantees a baby. In general, younger women need fewer eggs for a reasonable chance of a future pregnancy, while women over 38 may need considerably more. Not every frozen egg survives thawing, fertilises or becomes a healthy embryo. Your doctor will estimate your chances based on your age and the number of mature eggs collected, and discuss whether a second cycle is worthwhile.
Risks and Things to Know
- OHSS – a small risk of ovarian over-response, reduced by careful dosing and trigger choice
- No guarantee – egg freezing improves options but does not guarantee a future pregnancy
- Storage and law – storage duration, consent and use of eggs are governed by the ART (Regulation) Act, 2021; you sign consent forms covering what happens to eggs in different situations
- Pregnancy at a later age – carrying a pregnancy at an older age carries its own medical risks, which we discuss openly
