Egg Freezing in Kolkata — Understanding Your Fertility Preservation Options
Whether you are focused on your career, awaiting the right partner, or facing a medical condition that may affect ovarian function, egg freezing may offer a way to preserve some fertility potential for the future. It does not guarantee a future pregnancy. At Maatritva IVF in Newtown, we use vitrification, a widely used ultra-rapid freezing technique. Published data generally report high survival rates for vitrified eggs after thawing, but survival, fertilisation and pregnancy rates vary, particularly with the woman's age at freezing.

What is Egg Freezing in Kolkata?
Egg freezing (oocyte cryopreservation) involves stimulating the ovaries to produce multiple mature eggs, retrieving them under a brief procedure, and immediately preserving them at -196°C in liquid nitrogen using vitrification. These eggs can be stored long term (within the storage periods permitted under Indian ART regulations) and used for IVF when you decide to start your family — fertilised with sperm via ICSI, grown into embryos, and transferred.
Who Needs This?
Egg freezing may be considered by women aged 25–38 who wish to delay motherhood for career, personal, or relationship reasons; women about to undergo chemotherapy or pelvic radiation; those with endometriosis, autoimmune disorders, or a family history of early menopause; and anyone who wishes to preserve fertility potential before age-related decline. Egg freezing is not a guarantee of a future pregnancy.
