Eggs have a shelf life, just like food that goes bad over time and becomes harmful to the body if consumed. Eggs also age as you get older, which affects fertility. So, how can we keep eggs in their best condition?

Thanks to advances in reproductive medicine, AMH egg reserve testing has become a mature tool only in the last ten years, and egg freezing has also matured over the past decade. Today, it is a clinically well-established technology!

In medicine, egg freezing technology has finally achieved a major breakthrough after years of effort. Mature eggs are extremely fragile cells and can be easily damaged during traditional freezing processes. In recent years, vitrification (rapid freezing) has been developed, which greatly simplifies the freezing procedure and increases egg survival rates. Research shows that egg freezing is now considered reliable and safe. This technology solves one of the biggest hurdles in reproductive medicine—egg aging. With current medical science, we cannot make aging eggs young again, but we can freeze and preserve them, keeping them at the state they were when retrieved. In other words, we cannot rejuvenate eggs, but we can preserve them at a younger age, allowing them to “live in the past.”

With scientific advancement, preserving eggs is no longer a difficult task. However, the quality of lab environments, freezing and thawing techniques directly affect pregnancy rates. Every step must be strictly monitored under proper SOPs to meticulously protect every precious egg.

Planning fertility early allows a family vision to be fulfilled earlier. Using egg freezing as a response has become a social trend, and having the right knowledge helps you navigate life with more ease.
