Egg Freezing 101: Your Step-by-Step Guide to Preserving Fertility at Newlife IVF Greece

Taking control of your fertility is a powerful choice—and egg freezing offers a proactive way to safeguard your future family plans. At Newlife IVF Greece, we combine cutting-edge technology with personalized care to make this process seamless. Here’s how it works:

Why consider egg freezing?

• Preserve your biological clock: Freeze eggs in your 20s or early 30s when they’re healthiest.
• Medical protection: Safeguard fertility before treatments like chemotherapy or surgeries.
• Life flexibility: Focus on career, education, or finding the right partner without fertility anxiety.

The egg freezing process: 4 simple steps

1. Consultation & testing

• Hormonal assessments and ultrasounds evaluate ovarian reserve.
• Personalized stimulation plan created by ESHRE-accredited specialists.

2. Ovarian stimulation (8–12 days)

• Self-administered injections stimulate egg production.
• Home-country monitoring: Local ultrasounds track follicle growth, minimizing travel.

3. Egg retrieval (15–20 minutes)

• Performed under light sedation at our ISO-certified clinic.
• Ultrasound-guided needle collects eggs; an average of 8–15 retrieved.
• Recovery: Rest in a private ensuite room, discharge within hours.

4. Freezing & storage

• Mature eggs are frozen via vitrification (ultra-fast freezing), with approximately 85% survival rates after thaw.
• Stored securely in liquid nitrogen (-196°C) for up to 10 years.

Safety & success factors

• OHSS free since 2010 due to precise medication protocols.
• Age matters: Success rates drop after 35; freezing earlier yields better outcomes.
• Future use: Thawed eggs fertilized via ICSI for embryo creation.
