The egg freezing process involves egg/follicle stimulation, careful retrieval of those eggs, and lastly, freeze the eggs to be used at a later date.
Let's learn a little bit more about the Phase 1 of the egg freezing process: Ovarian Stimulation (mimics the 1st phase in IVF).
Stimulation involves "stimulating" the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. This is achieved through daily (once and twice daily) injections of hormonal medications typically lasting 10 to 14 days. These gonadotropin hormones encourage the ovaries to develop multiple mature eggs rather than the single egg that usually develops each month. The injectable medications involved are meds, like Gonal-F, Follistim, Menopur, Cetrotide, and Ganirelix.
Phase 2: Egg Retrieval. Once the eggs have reached the preferred mature size by your fertility clinic provider, your last home visit will be your Trigger Shot injection visit. You can be ordered one or more Trigger shots for your treatment plan. Trigger shot meds are typically high-dose Lupron (generic name Leuprolide) and/or some type of hCG (brand names: Pregnyl, Novarel, Ovidrel). Trigger shots have a very short time window for administration as exactly 36 hours later, you will be scheduled for your Egg Retrieval Surgery. This is a minor surgical procedure technically called follicular aspiration and is performed to collect or retrieve your mature follicles. This procedure is done under mild anesthesia or sedation to ensure comfort. Using an ultrasound-guided needle passed through the vaginal wall, eggs are gently suctioned from the follicles of the ovaries.
Phase 3: Egg Freezing. Collected mature eggs are then evaluated for health and viability. Healthy eggs are quickly frozen using a process known as vitrification. Vitrification rapidly cools the eggs to prevent ice crystals from forming, which could damage the cells. This process ensures the eggs are preserved intact for future use.
