Egg Freezing: Plan for the Future Today with Kindbody

Whether you’re interested in freezing your eggs in the near future or if you’d like to learn more about the fertility preservation process—we’re here to help. Schedule an egg-freezing consultation with one of our fertility care specialists to understand your fertility baseline and next steps. Most major insurance plans cover our egg-freezing consultations.

Your egg-freezing questions, answered.

What is egg freezing?

Egg freezing is a form of fertility preservation where a woman’s eggs are extracted, frozen, and stored for future use. This process preserves the quality of eggs based on the woman’s age at the time of freezing, which is beneficial as egg quantity and genetic integrity naturally decline with age. The frozen eggs can later be thawed, fertilized, and implanted through IVF.

How exactly does egg freezing work?

First, let’s talk about ovulation. Each month, your body recruits a set of eggs from your body to start growing and maturing. (Fun fact: these are the eggs we’re able to count when we do a vaginal ultrasound during your fertility assessment.) Your brain sends a signal to the batch that was recruited for the month to help just one of those eggs fully mature.

So what comes after egg freezing?

Your eggs will be stored in a secure facility for as long as you want to keep them there. (See our pricing page for annual cost.) The good news is, they will be the same age as you were when you froze them. When you need them, you’ll be able to use your frozen eggs through a process called IVF, which we do at Kindbody.

The Process

One egg freezing cycle takes around two weeks from the day you start your medication to your egg retrieval. Two or more cycles may be needed for enough eggs to be retrieved. Because everyone’s experience is unique, the specific days included below are averages.

Step 1

Egg Freezing Consultation

We invite you to schedule a virtual consultation, where together, we will review your medical history and discuss your family planning aspirations. This personalized conversation will provide valuable insights to help guide you on your fertility journey towards achieving your family building goals.

Step 2

Personalized Plan

Once your results are returned, a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist will recommend a personalized plan. A few more tests may be recommended before beginning the stimulation process.

Your fertility care team will help you understand how to administer the at-home hormone injections involved in the stimulation process.

Step 3

Stimulation Process (Day 1-13)

You’ll be giving yourself small at-home hormone injections to stimulate your ovaries so that they can grow more eggs. Throughout this protocol—usually 10-14 days—you’ll come in for regular scans and blood tests to monitor your response to the medications and adjust your dosage as necessary.

When your hormones and follicles are at the right levels, a fertility specialist will provide you with a trigger injection, which allows your eggs to complete maturation and start the ovulation process. This happens about 36 hours before your egg retrieval.

Step 4

Egg Retrieval (Day 14)

You’ll be sedated for about 10-15 minutes while a physician collects your eggs. You may be a little sore afterward, but the majority of women resume normal activities the next day.

Your retrieved eggs will be evaluated and cryopreserved by an embryologist the same day.

What medications are used during the egg freezing process?

Medications

With egg freezing, we’re being opportunistic: using hormones to help you mature a full batch of eggs—not just one. You’ll give yourself hormone injections for about two weeks, and we’ll show you exactly how. During that time, we’ll monitor your progress closely and adjust your dosage if needed. You can track your progress and response to the medications on our patient portal—so you can see everything the doctors are seeing, too.

When your eggs are ready, you’ll take a “trigger shot”—a final injection 12 hours before retrieval. Then we’ll extract and freeze all the mature eggs you produced that cycle!

How will I use my frozen eggs someday?

When you’re ready to use your frozen eggs with a partner, or with donor sperm, here’s what will happen:

Your frozen eggs are thawed.
They’re fertilized with sperm in the lab.
Any resulting embryos are grown and then either:
- Transferred immediately to your uterus (fresh embryo transfer), or
- Frozen again for a future frozen embryo transfer (FET).

The benefits of FET include:

Higher Success Rates: Innovations like vitrification (a rapid freezing process) have significantly increased embryo survival and live birth rates.
Flexibility: FET allows you to plan transfers at the optimal time for your health and schedule.
Cost Savings: By cryopreserving embryos during an initial cycle, you can avoid multiple egg retrieval procedures, reducing overall treatment costs.

Embryo Banking

If you’re planning ahead and have a partner or donor, embryo banking allows you to freeze fertilized eggs (embryos) as another way to preserve your fertility. It’s very similar to egg freezing, but includes fertilizing the eggs with partner or donor sperm before freezing.

Step 1

Consultation

Schedule a new patient visit. This appointment includes the same work-up as an egg freezing consultation, but will be catered to your embryo banking journey.

Step 2

Stimulation and Egg Retrieval

You'll go through the same stimulation and retrieval process as an egg-freezer, outlined above.

Step 3

Fertilization

The retrieved eggs are fertilized in the lab with sperm (from a partner or donor) to create embryos.

Step 5

Embryo Development

Fertilized eggs are monitored as they develop into embryos over 3–6 days. Embryologists assess their growth and quality.

Step 6

Embryo Freezing (Banking)

Healthy embryos are frozen and stored for future use. This is the "embryo banking" step—preserving embryos instead of (or in addition to) eggs. Some people opt to test embryos for genetic abnormalities before freezing, but this step is optional.
