Egg Freezing

Preserve fertility on your own timeline — quietly, expertly, without pressure.

In short

The only step that meaningfully slows the clock.

Egg freezing is no longer experimental. It is one of the most empowering medical decisions a woman can make in her 20s, 30s, or early 40s — and the only step that meaningfully slows the biological clock.

Who this is for
  • Women in their late 20s through late 30s focused on career, education, or finding the right partner.
  • Patients facing medical treatment that may affect ovaries (chemotherapy, radiation, surgery).
  • Anyone who wants the option of biological children later without the pressure of now.
Why patients choose this with Dr. Ghadir
  • Honest counseling about what egg freezing can — and cannot — promise at every age.
  • Personalized protocols designed to retrieve more high-quality eggs per cycle.
  • Vitrification (flash-freezing) in a top-tier embryology lab with excellent thaw survival.
  • Discreet, calm scheduling that respects your work and life.
The process
  1. 01
    Reserve assessment
    AMH bloodwork and an antral follicle count tell us what to expect from a cycle.
  2. 02
    Counseling
    We discuss realistic egg yields and how many cycles you may want for the family size you envision.
  3. 03
    Stimulation
    About 10 days of self-administered injections with monitoring every 2–3 days.
  4. 04
    Retrieval
    A short procedure under sedation. Eggs are vitrified within hours.
  5. 05
    Long-term storage
    Eggs are stored in secure cryostorage until you are ready — months or years later.
What to expect

From start to retrieval is roughly two weeks. Most patients return to normal activity within 24–48 hours. You leave with a written record of how many mature eggs were vitrified and a clear sense of what they represent for the future.

Risks & considerations

Egg freezing improves but does not guarantee future fertility. Outcomes are strongly age-dependent — eggs frozen at 32 perform very differently than those frozen at 40. Multiple cycles are sometimes needed to bank a meaningful number.

Frequently asked
What is the best age to freeze eggs?+
Biologically, before 35. But every age has value if it aligns with your life — we are honest about tradeoffs.
How many eggs should I freeze?+
We target a number based on your age and family-size goals — for many patients in their mid-30s, 15–20 mature eggs is a working benchmark.
Can I freeze eggs more than once?+
Yes. Many patients do two cycles to bank a meaningful number.
How long can eggs stay frozen?+
Indefinitely, with no measurable decline in quality once vitrified.
