A step-by-step companion to the egg freezing overview.

Antega has left out the celebrity and promotional framing used in the original. Egg freezing preserves options rather than guaranteeing a future child, and the number of mature eggs stored matters more than the number of follicles seen on a scan.

Key takeaways

  • Only mature eggs are suitable for freezing, so numbers can differ from follicle counts.
  • Vitrification is the standard freezing technique.
  • Age at freezing has a strong influence on later outcomes.
