Introduction to Egg Freezing

Here we provide a brief overview of the vital considerations in deciding to undergo egg freezing and outline what we'll cover in this course.

In our discussion on egg freezing, it's important to acknowledge the diverse range of individuals who may consider this option. Throughout this course, we provide data and information from studies that almost exclusively use the term "woman." While this term may encompass many of those assigned female at birth (AFAB), we recognize that not all individuals who may seek egg freezing services identify with this term. For example, transgender women are assigned male at birth (AMAB) and might opt for sperm freezing instead.

Regardless of gender identity, egg freezing offers individuals the opportunity to preserve their fertility and exercise reproductive autonomy. While our primary focus is on understanding this process for individuals assigned female at birth (AFAB), we acknowledge the diversity within this discussion. Each person's journey toward fertility preservation is unique, and we aim to provide comprehensive information that caters to a broad range of experiences.

Whether you’re exploring egg freezing options for yourself or supporting someone else in their reproductive journey, our goal is to offer detailed insights into the process and considerations involved. We invite you to engage with this resource, knowing that your individual concerns and needs are valued and respected.
