Time is relentless, and with each passing year, the quality of our eggs also changes. Especially after the age of 35, ovarian reserve decreases rapidly. We understand that the desire for a family doesn’t always align with biological realities. This is precisely why taking precautions early on is so important.
Egg freezing offers the chance to slow down the passage of time and capture the state of your eggs in their best condition. This creates a bridge to the future, regardless of life’s unpredictable paths.
The best time for egg freezing is ideally before the age of 35, when your ovarian reserve is still sufficient, and the quality of your eggs is at its peak. This timing provides the best conditions to maximize your chances of a successful pregnancy.
Under the expert guidance of Dr. Christos Roukoudis, we accompany you through this process. Our compassionate team understands the significance of your decision and ensures that you are equipped with comprehensive knowledge and understanding.

Egg freezing is based on the proven In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) method.
The process involves the following steps.
The duration you can store your frozen eggs is not limited. You determine the right time for your family planning. The quality of frozen eggs remains stable during storage, meaning that pregnancy rates are comparable to freshly retrieved and fertilized eggs.
Hormones stimulate your ovaries to produce more eggs than usual.
This process takes around two weeks.
The matured eggs are carefully retrieved while you are under light sedation. This procedure is painless and typically lasts around 15-20 minutes.
The collected eggs are cooled to very low temperatures and then shock-frozen in liquid nitrogen. This step, called vitrification, increases egg survival rates to 97%.
The frozen eggs are stored in our state-of-the-art laboratory until you can use them.
Egg or embryo cryopreservation today offers meaningful and realistic options

Personalized treatment plans, such as DuoStim, are designed with the aim of retrieving the maximum possible number of eggs within a short time frame, without compromising the woman’s health and without causing significant delay to cancer treatment.
