Egg freezing is one of the newest tools that I have to offer here at Huntington Reproductive Center.
And egg freezing has been able to help women freeze their eggs at a younger age and then allow them to come back when they’re ready to utilize that egg for a successful pregnancy.
Now, to freeze an egg requires that I take all the water out of that egg, and sometimes that can cause very damaging ice crystals.
These ice crystals are like puncturing a balloon and it may not allow the egg to survive.
But at HRC we have been able to have a successful egg freezing program, allowing the removal of ice crystals and allowing that egg to freeze and thaw and produce a successful pregnancy.
I think this is so exciting for patients who are interested in this option.
