2. Induce egg development through abdominal injections, typically commencing around the 2nd or 3rd day of the menstrual cycle.
3. Regularly monitor the quantity and size of eggs, consulting with the doctor approximately 3-4 times.
4. Retrieve mature eggs, a procedure lasting about 30 minutes and causing minimal discomfort.
5. Freeze the eggs in the laboratory, awaiting their use for future pregnancy attempts.

The survival rate for frozen and thawed eggs is approximately 90 percent, while fertilization rates range from 70 to 80 percent. The likelihood of a successful pregnancy falls within the range of 30 to 65 percent.



 

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.
