Scientifically known as mature oocyte cryopreservation, egg freezing helps women to get pregnant by saving their unfertilized eggs for the future. Firstly, egg production boosting drugs are given to the woman. The eggs are harvested from the uterus and frozen to be fertilized later. These eggs can be unfrozen and infused with sperm in the lab and replanted in the uterus through In Vitro fertilization.

Egg freezing is a feasible option for women who are not ready to get pregnant or unable to get pregnant because of health-related issues.
