Overview of Egg Freezing

Egg freezing, or oocyte cryopreservation, is an advanced fertility preservation technique that allows women to freeze and store their healthy eggs for future use. The frozen eggs can later be thawed, fertilized, and transferred during IVF when you’re ready to start a family.

At Metro IVF Kanpur, we use state-of-the-art vitrification methods that ensure the best survival rates for your eggs during freezing and thawing.
