The process of egg preservation involves several steps:
Ovarian Stimulation: Hormonal medications are administered to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. Monitoring: Regular ultrasound and blood tests are conducted to monitor the growth and development of follicles. Egg Retrieval: Once the follicles are mature, eggs are retrieved through a minor surgical procedure called transvaginal ultrasound aspiration. Freezing: The retrieved eggs are then frozen using a technique called vitrification, which prevents ice crystals from forming and damaging the eggs.
