Egg freezing explained: how vitrification works
An explainer on the laboratory side of egg freezing: what vitrification is, why rapid freezing is used, and how frozen eggs are later warmed for treatment.
A short companion to the orientation video, focused on what happens to eggs in the laboratory.
This explains laboratory technique rather than your own treatment plan. Numbers of eggs collected and later outcomes vary considerably between individuals.
Key takeaways
- Vitrification is rapid freezing that limits ice-crystal formation.
- Frozen eggs are warmed and fertilised when you decide to use them.
- Egg numbers and later outcomes differ from person to person.
