Bumrungrad Hospital employs the latest freezing technique called vitrification. This method preserves egg cells at an ultra-low temperature of -196°C, theoretically allowing for indefinite preservation. However, it's advised to utilize them within 10 years. The doctor will combine the egg cells with sperm from your legal spouse. Once fertilization occurs and embryos develop, the doctor will transfer the embryo back into the uterus to facilitate a successful pregnancy.

Egg freezing is typically safe, although there are potential complications, such as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), which has a very low incidence rate of only 0.1% at Bumrungrad Hospital.

After egg retrieval, some individuals may experience side effects like abdominal discomfort and minimal vaginal bleeding.
