Egg freezing process

At first glance, egg donation and egg freezing may seem similar — both involve retrieving eggs from a woman’s ovaries through a medical procedure.
However, their purposes, processes, and long-term implications are very different.
Egg donation is about helping others — giving hope to families who cannot conceive naturally.
Egg freezing, on the other hand, is about preserving one’s own fertility, allowing women to have the option of pregnancy later in life.
Understanding these differences — as well as the considerations before making either choice — is crucial for any woman thinking about taking this step. Let’s explore what sets egg donation and egg freezing apart, and what to keep in mind before deciding.
