Procedure to Possibility: Navigating Egg Freezing

Egg freezing has been available for years, and if you’re considering it, it’s important to understand the process and benefits to make an informed decision about your reproductive health.  Dr. Susan Fox talks with Dr. Aimee Eyvazzadeh, “The Egg Whisperer” who provides insights into the realities of egg freezing.

The egg freezing process involves extracting and preserving eggs from the ovaries for future use through ovarian stimulation. Unlike IVF, the eggs are not fertilized before freezing. For women with future pregnancy plans who want to delay childbearing, Dr. Eyvazzadeh advises consulting a fertility specialist.

Age and Egg Viability

Timing is vital for women planning to use frozen eggs, as egg quality can decrease with age. To address this, women should consider freezing more eggs to ensure a sufficient reserve for conceiving.

Building Your Fertility Team

Establishing a well-informed and experienced team as you plan for pregnancy can significantly improve your outcomes. For women navigating the fertility journey, it is essential to assemble a supportive team early on, encompassing various disciplines such as therapy, nutrition, exercise, acupuncture, mindfulness, and meditation.

If you’re thinking of adding acupuncture to your egg freezing preparation protocols, check out The Acupuncture & TCM Board of Reproductive Medicine (www.aborm.org)  for qualified practitioners.

Egg freezing is a valuable tool for women looking to preserve their fertility for future family planning. Dr. Aimee Eyvazzadeh highlights the importance of understanding the process, planning, and building a supportive fertility team. As we navigate this evolving field, staying informed and proactive can help women make the best decisions for their reproductive health.
