Egg Freezing on Long Island

Thanks to advances in assisted reproductive technology and cryopreservation, women are now able to take control of their fertility journeys on their own timelines. RMA of New York – Long Island is proud to offer egg freezing services to women during their peak fertility years, without affecting their ability to have a healthy pregnancy later in life.

Reasons Egg Freezing May Be for You

Fertility preservation provides the opportunity to delay your decision to have children. There are many reasons for doing so, but some of the most common include:

  • Personal reasons, such as career, education, finances, relationships, or simply being unsure of whether or not you want to have a child.
  • A medical condition that can impact your fertility, such as endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and premature ovarian insufficiency.
  • The need to receive medical treatments that can potentially harm your fertility, such as radiation or chemotherapy for cancer.

The Egg Freezing Process

Both the egg and embryo freezing processes start much like traditional IVF. Medications are taken to stimulate the ovaries to simultaneously mature multiple eggs that can then be retrieved from the body. The egg freezing process generally takes less than four weeks from start to finish.

  • 1. Fertility Testing & Consultation

    First, you will meet with your fertility physician to discuss your medical history and reproductive goals. You will also have a fertility evaluation, including blood work and an ultrasound, to analyze your ovarian reserve and overall function.

  • 2. Ovarian Stimulation

    The ovaries are stimulated using hormone injections, which trigger the ovaries to produce multiple eggs in a single ovulation cycle. Injections are self-administered over the course of 9 to 11 days. During this time period, you will come into one of our 6 offices on Long Island for frequent monitoring appointments.

  • 3. Egg Retrieval

    Once your eggs have reached the desired level of maturation, an RMA of New York – Long Island doctor will perform the egg retrieval procedure at our full-service location in Melville, NY. The egg retrieval is a short procedure performed under mild anesthesia in order to retrieve your eggs and prepare them for cryopreservation (freezing).

  • 4. Egg Freezing

    Eggs are frozen by our highly-trained embryologists using a process called vitrification, which quickly freezes the eggs. The eggs are then stored in our facility in Melville, NY until they’re ready to be used.
