Leading Melbourne fertility preservation service specialising in egg freezing (oocyte cryopreservation) for those who want to proactively safeguard their future, and avoid involuntary childlessness due to attempting to start a family later in life.
Fertility decline in women is age-related as a result of a finite supply of eggs (oocytes). Furthermore, your best quality eggs are released early in life.
Egg freezing allows women to preserve their best eggs, frozen when they are young and healthy, to help them achieve pregnancy later – when they might otherwise have a harder time finding healthy eggs.
Career choices, major health events, uncertainty around becoming a parent, or just struggling to meet the right person can interfere with your fertility timeline.
As you age, the DNA inside your eggs begins to degrade, resulting in an ever-increasing percentage of remaining eggs containing genetic abnormalities.
Rates of miscarriage rise with age, increasing dramatically after the age of 35. This makes natural pregnancy, as well as IVF, harder later.
Women are born with about 1.5 million eggs. By the time you reach puberty, only about 25% of your eggs remain. By the age of 40, only about 10% of your eggs remain. Taking action early can improve your future options.

Egg freezing involves ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval via transvaginal ultrasound aspiration, and vitrification to freeze the eggs. The frozen eggs are stored until needed. Thawed eggs undergo IVF and embryo transfer when desired. This process preserves fertility for medical or personal reasons.
