Summary
Procedure details
Egg freezing, also known as oocyte cryopreservation, is a process in which eggs are collected from the ovaries, frozen using vitrification and stored for possible future use.
Pre-Treatment Assessment
Before treatment begins, a fertility specialist reviews your medical history and test results and prepares an individual stimulation protocol.
An AMH test is required as a minimum. Additional examinations may include hormonal blood tests and a transvaginal ultrasound with an antral follicle count.
Ovarian Stimulation
- Hormone stimulation usually begins on day 2 or 3 of the menstrual cycle.
- Medication type and dosage are determined according to age, ovarian reserve and medical history.
- The stimulation phase normally lasts approximately 10–12 days.
- Ultrasound scans are performed to monitor follicle development and determine the appropriate time for egg retrieval.
Monitoring and Travel
- If the required ultrasound scans can be arranged locally, travel to Prague may only be necessary for egg retrieval.
- If local monitoring is unavailable, arrival in Prague is usually required around day 7 or 8 of stimulation.
- Egg retrieval generally takes place around day 13 or 14 of the treatment cycle.
Egg Retrieval
- The eggs are collected from the ovaries during a short procedure performed under anaesthesia.
- After the procedure, you remain under medical observation for a short recovery period.
- Arrival in Prague is required one day before egg retrieval.
- Most patients stay approximately two nights and can usually travel home the day after the procedure.
Vitrification and Storage
The collected eggs are assessed in the laboratory. Suitable mature eggs are frozen using vitrification and stored for possible future treatment.
The number of eggs collected and suitable for freezing varies between patients and cannot be guaranteed in advance.
Using Frozen Eggs in the Future
When the eggs are needed, they are thawed and fertilised using ICSI, where one sperm cell is injected directly into each suitable egg. The resulting embryos are cultivated in the laboratory before embryo transfer.
Egg freezing does not guarantee a future pregnancy. The chance of success depends on several factors, particularly age at the time of freezing, the number of mature eggs stored and their quality after thawing.

How does egg freezing work? The egg freezing process begins with hormone stimulation, usually on day 2 or 3 of the menstrual cycle.

What affects egg freezing success? Egg freezing, also called oocyte cryopreservation or social freezing, preserves the possibility of using your eggs in the future but does not guarantee pregnancy. Potential outcomes depend mainly on your age at the time of freezing, ovarian reserve, the number of mature eggs collected and how the eggs respond to thawing and fertilisation.
