Egg Freezing Clinic in India

Yes, egg freezing is legal and increasingly popular in India. It is available in many fertility clinics, offering women the option to preserve their fertility for future family planning.

The ideal age limit for freezing eggs is typically under 35 years. Post the age of 35, egg quality and quantity naturally decline drastically. However, women up to their early 40s can also opt for Egg freezing but with varying success rates depending on individual health and fertility factors. Please Consult with a fertility specialist to know more.

Following Individuals are not a good candidate for Egg Freezing treatment:

• Women over 38 with diminished ovarian reserve.
• Those with certain medical conditions affecting egg quality or quantity.
• Individuals with health issues making hormonal stimulation or egg retrieval risky.
• Women with low response to fertility medications.

Freezing eggs can be beneficial for individuals with PCOS, particularly since PCOS may affect fertility over time. Early egg freezing preserves younger, healthier eggs, providing a future option for family planning despite the potential challenges in fertility associated with PCOS.

Most women find the process very manageable. It’s more about mild discomfort than sharp pain. Here’s a quick breakdown:

• The Injections: These are self-administered with a tiny needle, similar to what a person with diabetes uses. Most people say it feels like a quick, slight pinch.
• The Retrieval: This is a short, 15-20 minute procedure. You’ll be under light sedation, so you’ll be comfortable and won’t feel any pain while it’s happening.
• Afterwards: It’s common to feel some mild bloating or cramping, much like period pains, but this usually fades within a day or two.

Side effects of egg freezing may include the following:

• Hormonal Stimulation Side Effects: Bloating, mood swings, and mild discomfort.
• Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome: Rare but can cause pain & swelling
• Egg Retrieval Risks: Bleeding, infection, and anesthesia-related complications.
• Emotional Stress: Anxiety and stress related to the procedure and its outcomes.
• Future Pregnancy Risks: Associated with older maternal age if eggs are used later in life.

Egg freezing may cause temporary weight gain due to hormonal medications used for ovarian stimulation. This weight is often water retention and subsides after treatment. Long-term weight gain is not a typical side effect of the egg freezing process.

It is advisable to avoid the following during egg freezing.

• High-impact exercise, to prevent ovarian torsion.
• Smoking and excessive alcohol, as they can affect egg quality.
• Specific medications or supplements to avoid as advised by the Doctor.
• Stressful activities, focusing instead on relaxation and self-care.

Typically, you can expect to have one or two self-administered injections per day for about 10 to 14 days. It sounds like a lot, but our nursing team will give you a full tutorial. The exact schedule is always tailored specifically to you.

The process is quite straightforward once your retrieval is done.

• Freezing: Our expert embryologists immediately use vitrification to preserve your healthy eggs.
• Storage: They are then moved into a secure cryo-bank for long-term storage.

Your Recovery: You can go home the same day to rest and relax. Your eggs will remain safely “paused in time” until you decide you’re ready for them.

Yes, you can still get pregnant naturally after freezing eggs. The procedure does not affect your natural fertility or menstrual cycle. It simply provides an additional option for future pregnancy using the frozen eggs, if needed.

Freezing eggs does not stop periods. The egg retrieval process is timed with the menstrual cycle, but it does not alter the cycle’s regularity. Normal menstrual cycles typically resume shortly after the procedure, reflecting the body’s natural hormonal rhythm.
