Egg freezing, also known as oocyte cryopreservation, is a fertility preservation method. In the egg freezing process, a woman’s eggs (oocytes) are stimulated through a regimen of medications. When they are fully matured, the eggs are retrieved from both ovaries. The eggs are then cryopreserved, or frozen, using a specialized technique that rapidly cools them to temperatures around −196°C using liquid nitrogen.

This process allows the frozen eggs to be stored indefinitely. When you are ready, the eggs are thawed and used during an IVF cycle or surrogacy.

Our state-of-the-art technology includes RFID tracking for your eggs. This helps to reduce any chance of your genetic material from becoming mixed with someone else's and helps us to properly track each specimen. This tracking technology extends to all genetic samples, including sperm and embryos, to ensure complete control and accountability during your fertility treatments.

Our Colorado IVF lab is fully accredited and designed with the highest standards. This ensures unparalleled safety for genetic materials. Along with advanced technology, our lab is led by expert embryologists. 

This is an exaggerated response to medications used to stimulate the ovaries. This causes the ovaries to swell, which can be painful. This occurs in 0.2% of cycles. 

While most eggs will survive freezing and thawing, it is important to remember that not all of them will. Frozen eggs may be less successful than frozen embryos.
