Additional Information
Why do women freeze their eggs?
Women decide to freeze their oocytes for multiple reasons, including:
- When fertility is at risk due to illness

Who is a good candidate to freeze eggs?
Your physician will determine whether freezing your eggs is a good option for you.

Clients may want to consider the following factors in looking for a storage facility:
- Stability and Reputation
