If you wish to bank your eggs for later use, we offer egg freezing services. This process involves stimulating your ovaries to produce multiple eggs, retrieving the eggs, and then freezing them for future use. This is a great option for women who want to preserve their fertility due to personal, professional, or medical reasons. Our specialists will guide you through every step of the process and answer any questions you may have.
Embryos, eggs, and sperm can be frozen for many years. There is no definitive limit on how long they can be stored, but it’s important to consider both personal and regulatory guidelines. Typically, they remain viable and retain their quality for extended periods, often beyond a decade, when stored under optimal conditions. Our team can provide you with detailed information on storage duration and regulations.
