Egg Freezing Process
Step.1
Ovulation Induction
Cycle Day 1–3
Begin ovulation stimulation using hormone injections or oral medication.
Compliance affects the egg retrieval outcome:
Follow your doctor’s instructions for medication
- Drink over 2000 c.c. of water daily
- Doctor may arrange blood tests and transvaginal ultrasound based on your condition.
Step.2
Follicle Maturity Monitoring
Cycle Day 6–12
(approx. 3 clinic visits)
Return to the clinic for blood hormone analysis and transvaginal ultrasound to assess follicle size. This helps determine follicle maturity and the best timing for egg retrieval.
※Note: Avoid strenuous exercise about a week into the cycle to prevent ovarian torsion!
Step.3
Egg Retrieval
Cycle Day 12–15
34–36 hours before retrieval, trigger shot must be administered exactly on schedule (possibly during early morning hours).
Egg retrieval is performed under general anesthesia using ultrasound guidance.
The procedure duration varies depending on the number of eggs. Observation for 1–2 hours post-op, then you can return home. No hospitalization required, but take the day off to rest.
※Note: Your next period may arrive approximately one week after egg retrieval.
