Fertility preservation, or sperm and egg freezing, is an exciting medical procedure allowing individuals to control their fertility and family planning timeline. With this revolutionary process, individuals can preserve their reproductive cells in a specialized lab for an extended time, allowing them to delay parenthood for personal or medical reasons, such as cancer treatment, or to preserve their fertility before undergoing specific medical procedures.
As cryopreservation continues to become more popular, those seeking to preserve their reproductive potential have a powerful tool to achieve their goals of starting a family on their own terms

The Procedure
Egg freezing, often referred to as oocyte cryopreservation, is an increasingly popular way to preserve fertility. With this procedure, hormones stimulate the ovaries, producing multiple mature eggs that are then collected during a minor surgical procedure and frozen for future use.
Likewise, sperm freezing, or sperm cryopreservation, is a great way to safeguard fertility for later. To obtain a sample, masturbation is used. Then the semen is processed to separate the sperm, mixed with a cryoprotectant solution, and carefully frozen with a controlled cooling process. This is a convenient and reliable method for preserving fertility for the future.
The Advantages
- Preserving fertility: Egg and sperm freezing allows individuals to maintain their fertility for future use in case of medical reasons or personal choices, such as delaying parenthood.
- Flexibility: Individuals have more control over their family planning by being provided the flexibility to choose the timing of conception.
- Increased success rates: Advances in egg and sperm freezing techniques have improved success rates in assisted reproductive technologies, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF).
- Reduced risk of genetic abnormalities: By freezing eggs or sperm at a younger age, individuals can reduce the risk of congenital anomalies associated with the age-related decline in fertility.
- Provides hope: For individuals facing medical conditions that may affect their fertility, egg and sperm freezing can give hope and a sense of control over their future reproductive options.
When it comes to freezing sperm or eggs, you should be prepared to have an in-depth discussion with your doctor about your family history, overall health, and lifestyle choices, as these will all be considered when determining the best course of action. During your consultation, you will be given all the materials and information needed to ease your mind about the procedure and any potential risks or side effects.
Depending on an individual’s health and medical background, the doctor may need to run some tests, such as a semen analysis or an ultrasound, to assess quality.
