Female fertility declines with age. The natural window for conception gradually narrows, especially after the mid-30s. Today, most women dedicate their time and energy to higher education, career advancement and personal growth, while postponing motherhood. Egg freezing has become a popular choice for them. At Yellow IVF, we are here to walk you through the step-by-step process and the overall egg freezing price.
What is Egg Freezing?
Egg freezing or oocyte cryopreservation is a fertility preservation method that involves collecting a woman’s eggs, freezing them, and storing them for future use. This allows women to delay pregnancy while preserving the quality of their eggs at a younger age.
Step-by-Step Process of Egg Freezing
Here is a detailed step-by-step guide on the process of egg freezing:
- Step 1: Initial Consultation
The journey of egg freezing begins with an initial consultation at Yellow IVF. During this visit, our fertility specialists will review your medical history, conduct basic fertility tests, and explain the egg freezing process in detail.
- Step 2: Ovarian Reserve Testing
Next, blood tests and an ultrasound are performed to assess your ovarian reserve. This will help the fertility experts to understand the number and quality of your remaining eggs. They can determine your bodily response to fertility medications and the potential number of eggs that can be retrieved.
- Step 3: Hormonal Stimulation
Once you are all set, our fertility experts will initiate a cycle of hormonal injections to stimulate your ovaries to produce multiple eggs. Throughout this period, they will monitor you closely through blood tests and ultrasounds to track your progress.
- Step 4: Egg Retrieval

Next, our professionals collect the eggs using a less invasive procedure along with ultrasound monitoring. Some patients experience mild cramping, constipation, spotting and bloating for the next 24 hours of retrieval. Our experts will prescribe over-the-counter medication, if needed, to ease the discomfort.
- Step 5: Freezing and Storage
After retrieval, our experts will evaluate the maturity of your eggs. The mature eggs are then frozen using the vitrification technique. Then, they are safely stored in our state-of-the-art cryogenic storage facilities for 10 years until you are ready to use them.
What is the Egg Freezing Price at Yellow IVF?
At Yellow IVF, we understand that affordability and transparency are important. Thus, we will provide a clear breakdown of the egg freezing cost tailored to your specific needs during the initial consultation. The price varies between patients depending on individual treatment plans, medication requirements, the number of cycles needed, freezing and storage needs, etc.
Patients with budget constraints can opt for the easy EMI option to complete the payment. Since costs are a key barrier to egg freezing, we also offer the flexibility to pay during consultation or freeze now and pay later at the time of retrieval.
Final Words
To sum up, egg freezing is a proactive step toward reproductive freedom. Whether you are running parallel with the career clock, waiting for the right partner or opting for other medical treatments, egg freezing lets you achieve your dream of parenthood right when you want. Understanding the process and being aware of the egg freezing price will help you prepare financially and emotionally.
