A step-by-step look at what happens during this procedure.
Daily hormone injections are administered for 10-14 days to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple mature eggs instead of the single egg typically released each month. Regular monitoring through blood tests and ultrasounds tracks follicle development.
When follicles reach optimal size, a trigger injection (hCG or similar) is administered precisely 36 hours before egg retrieval to finalize egg maturation and prepare them for collection.
Under conscious sedation, a transvaginal ultrasound-guided needle aspirates mature eggs from the ovarian follicles. The procedure typically takes 20-30 minutes and is performed in an outpatient setting.
Retrieved eggs are immediately evaluated by embryologists in the laboratory to identify mature eggs suitable for freezing. Only mature (metaphase II) eggs are selected for cryopreservation.
Mature eggs undergo vitrification, an ultra-rapid freezing process that prevents ice crystal formation and maximizes post-thaw survival rates. Frozen eggs are stored in liquid nitrogen at -196°C for future use.
A structured, patient-first approach from first consultation to full recovery.
Dr Bhavana designs individualized ovarian stimulation protocols based on your age, ovarian reserve (AMH levels), and medical history to optimize egg yield while minimizing risks of ovarian hyperstimulation.
Throughout the stimulation cycle, Dr Bhavana performs regular ultrasound monitoring and hormonal assessments to track follicle growth, adjust medication dosages, and determine the optimal timing for egg retrieval.
Dr Bhavana personally performs the egg retrieval procedure using state-of-the-art ultrasound guidance and gentle aspiration techniques to maximize egg collection while ensuring patient comfort and safety under sedation.
Our laboratory uses the latest vitrification technology and maintains stringent quality control measures for egg freezing and storage. Dr Bhavana ensures transparent counseling about expected outcomes and future usage protocols.
What to expect at each stage of your recovery journey.
After egg retrieval, you'll rest in the recovery area for 1-2 hours as sedation wears off. Mild cramping and bloating are common. You'll need someone to drive you home and should rest for the remainder of the day.
Most women resume normal activities within 24-48 hours. Some abdominal bloating may persist for several days as ovaries return to normal size. Avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and sexual intercourse for one week post-procedure.
Full recovery typically occurs within 1-2 weeks as hormone levels normalize and any residual bloating resolves. Your menstrual period should arrive within 2 weeks of egg retrieval, signaling complete hormonal reset.
Successfully frozen eggs can be stored indefinitely without quality deterioration, providing insurance against age-related fertility decline and giving you flexibility in family planning timing.
Modern vitrification techniques achieve 85-90% egg survival rates after thawing. The number and quality of eggs frozen significantly influence future pregnancy success rates.
When ready to use frozen eggs, they are thawed, fertilized via ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection), and resulting embryos are transferred. Success rates depend on age at freezing, with eggs frozen before age 35 showing optimal outcomes.
Egg freezing provides reproductive autonomy and reduces anxiety about biological clock pressures, allowing you to pursue education, career, or personal goals while maintaining fertility potential.
