Egg Freezing

Egg freezing is the cryopreservation of female eggs for future use. This involves the collection of eggs from the ovaries via an egg retrieval procedure, dehydrating them, and finally freezing them. Eggs can be stored for years at an egg donor bank, or even decades, and successfully thawed, inseminated using ICSI with in vitro fertilization, and then transferred to the uterus to achieve pregnancy. Atlantic Reproductive in Raleigh, NC, provides an egg freezing services throughout Raleigh, Cary, Durham, and beyond as part of our fertility preservation services.

Reasons to Consider Egg Freezing in Raleigh, NC

At Atlantic Reproductive, our doctors safely extract and preserve your eggs until you’re ready to attempt pregnancy. Most commonly, patients seeking to freeze their eggs fall into one of the following categories:

• Want to Delay Pregnancy – For various personal reasons — from building a career to seeking a partner — some patients wish to wait to try to become pregnant.
• Have Been Diagnosed with Cancer – Chemotherapy can significantly impact a person’s reproductive health, leaving little or no eggs.
• Age – Age and early menopause can also reduce the number of child-bearing years available to certain patients.

The egg freezing process is very similar to the IVF process, which includes a series of injectable medications designed to stimulate as many healthy eggs as possible.

Your doctor will be happy to discuss your options and answer all your egg-freezing questions.
