At Dr Mannan IVF Centre in New Delhi, I am seeing a welcome shift in how women approach their futures.
More and more, I meet intelligent, ambitious women who want to build a career, find the right partner, or simply live life on their own terms without the pressure of a ticking biological clock.
Egg freezing, or oocyte cryopreservation, is the powerful technology that makes this possible.
Taking control of your reproductive future is one of the most empowering decisions you can make. It is not about delaying motherhood indefinitely; it is about giving yourself the gift of time and choice.
With over 10 years of experience in fertility preservation, my goal is to demystify this process for you, explain how it works, and help you understand if it is the right step for you.
Key Takeaways
- It’s Proactive, Not Reactive: Egg freezing is about preserving your fertility at its peak, giving you options for the future.
- Age is Key: The best time to freeze your eggs is in your late 20s or early 30s, when egg quality is highest.
- The Process is Safe: It involves a short cycle of hormone stimulation and a minimally invasive retrieval procedure.
- Peace of Mind: Knowing you have healthy eggs preserved can relieve immense social and biological pressure.
What is Egg Freezing?
Egg freezing is a revolutionary medical procedure where we retrieve a woman’s eggs, freeze them using an advanced technique called vitrification, and store them securely for future use.
When you are ready to start a family, these eggs can be thawed, fertilised with sperm to create embryos, and transferred to your uterus.
Essentially, you are pressing “pause” on your biological clock. The eggs you freeze today will retain the same quality and potential they have right now, regardless of whether you use them in five, ten, or even more years.

Who Should Consider Egg Freezing?
This technology offers a lifeline to many women. In my Delhi practice, I consult with women from all walks of life who choose to freeze their eggs for various reasons:
- Career and Personal Goals:
You want to focus on your education, establish your career, or travel without the pressure of conceiving before you are ready. - Finding the Right Partner:
You have not yet met the person you want to build a family with and want to preserve your fertility while you wait. - Medical Reasons:
You have been diagnosed with a condition like cancer and need to undergo chemotherapy or radiation, which can harm your fertility. Egg freezing before treatment can preserve your chance of having a biological child later. - Family History:
If your mother or sister went through early menopause, you might be at risk, and freezing eggs can be a smart insurance policy. - Ethical or Personal Reasons:
For some couples undergoing IVF, freezing extra eggs instead of creating extra embryos aligns better with their personal beliefs.
The Egg Freezing Process: A Step-by-Step Guide
The process is very similar to the first part of an IVF cycle and takes about two weeks.
- Initial Consultation and Testing:
We start with a thorough consultation, including blood tests (like AMH) and an ultrasound to assess your ovarian reserve. This helps us personalise your treatment. - Ovarian Stimulation (10-12 Days):
You will self-administer daily hormone injections to encourage your ovaries to mature multiple eggs at once. We will monitor you closely with 3-4 ultrasound scans to track their growth. - Egg Retrieval (Day 13-15):
Once the eggs are ready, we retrieve them in a short, 20-minute procedure. You will be under light sedation, so you will not feel any pain. We use a thin needle guided by ultrasound to collect the eggs from your ovaries. - Vitrification (Freezing):
This is where the magic happens. Our expert embryologists use vitrification—an ultra-rapid freezing method—to turn your eggs into a glass-like state. This prevents ice crystals from forming and damaging the delicate eggs. - Secure Storage:
Your frozen eggs are then stored in special cryogenic tanks at our facility, where they can remain safely preserved for many years.
Success Rates and Realistic Expectations
The success of egg freezing depends almost entirely on the age you are when you freeze your eggs.
The younger you are, the higher the quality of your eggs and the better the chance of a future pregnancy.
For a woman under 35, we aim to retrieve 15-20 eggs, which can give her an excellent chance (upwards of 70-80%) of having at least one live birth in the future.
It is important to see it as a chance, not a guarantee, but it is the best insurance policy modern medicine can offer against age-related fertility decline.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Is egg freezing painful?
The injections use very fine needles and are generally well-tolerated. The egg retrieval procedure itself is painless as you are under sedation. Afterwards, you might feel some mild cramping or bloating for a day or two.
2. How long can my eggs be stored?
Technically, frozen eggs can be stored indefinitely without any loss of quality. Current regulations in India allow for storage for many years, giving you ample time to decide when you are ready.
3. Does egg freezing harm my current fertility or bring on menopause earlier?
No. The eggs we retrieve during a freezing cycle are eggs that your body would have naturally discarded in that month anyway. The process does not deplete your overall ovarian reserve or affect your ability to conceive naturally in the future.
4. How many cycles of egg freezing do I need?
This depends on your age and ovarian reserve. For a woman under 35, one cycle is often enough to retrieve a good number of eggs. Women over 35 may need two or more cycles to collect enough eggs for a high chance of future success.
5. What is the ideal age to freeze my eggs?
The biological ideal is in your late 20s or early 30s. However, any woman in her 30s who is not ready to have a child can benefit. The most important thing is to do it before your fertility begins to decline more sharply, typically around age 37-38.
