Egg freezing, also known as oocyte cryopreservation, has become an empowering option for women who want to preserve their fertility. Whether due to career planning, medical conditions like cancer, or simply waiting for the right partner, egg freezing provides women with more control over their reproductive timeline.
This guide explores why women choose egg freezing, the process, costs, success rates, and alternatives. We also highlight fertility preservation for cancer patients and share real patient stories.
Egg freezing allows women to pause their biological clock. Reasons include:
Success depends on age at freezing and number of eggs stored:
Under 35
1 in 2 chance per cycle
35–38
1 in 3 chance
Over 40
Significantly lower success
Clinics recommend freezing 15–20 eggs for a strong chance of one live birth.
The average cost per cycle is $6,000–$12,000, plus $500–$1,000 yearly storage fees. Medication adds another $3,000–$5,000. Multiple cycles may be required.
Oncofertility refers to fertility preservation for cancer patients. Women facing chemotherapy or radiation may freeze eggs or embryos beforehand. Some insurance plans cover fertility preservation in these cases.
Egg freezing is generally safe but carries risks:
Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS)
Surgical risks during retrieval
Emotional stress of the process and uncertainty of outcomes
