Introduction — Why More Indian Women Are Freezing Their Eggs
Egg freezing lets you save your eggs while they’re still healthy so you can use them later through IVF. At Proactive For Her, more women in their 30s are exploring this option because they want flexibility — to focus on their career, health, personal goals, or wait for the right partner. Our fertility team supports you through every step, from the first hormone tests to the final storage of your eggs. This isn’t about delaying motherhood. It’s about keeping your choices open with medical clarity and emotional support.
What Is Egg Freezing and How Does It Work?
Egg freezing involves stimulating your ovaries to grow multiple eggs, collecting them, and freezing them quickly so they stay preserved for future use. Most women say the entire process feels smoother than expected and takes only a few days of injections and scans. All procedures at Proactive For Her follow safe, approved medical guidelines. You will always know what is happening and why, at every stage.
Why Women Choose to Freeze Eggs
Women freeze their eggs for many reasons. Some simply want more time before starting a family. Others have medical conditions like PCOS or endometriosis, or need to undergo treatments such as chemotherapy. For many, it offers reassurance when they haven’t found the right partner yet. Our patients often describe egg freezing as peace of mind rather than pressure. You’ll also have a dedicated counseling session to help you understand your options before moving forward. This choice is about taking control, not adding stress.
Egg Freezing Cost in India — What to Expect
In India, egg retrieval and freezing typically cost between 2.5L-3L. Storing the eggs each year usually costs ₹15,000–₹25,000. At Proactive For Her, we clearly explain every cost in advance medications, scans, procedures, and storage. We work only with licensed labs that meet national safety guidelines. There are no hidden charges or emotional upselling. You’ll always know exactly what you’re paying for.
Step-by-Step: The Egg Freezing Process
The process begins with tests to check your hormone levels and ovarian reserve. This is followed by 10–12 days of injections that help your ovaries grow more eggs. You’ll come in for regular ultrasounds so your doctor can monitor your progress. When the eggs are ready, they are collected under light anesthesia, and then frozen for long-term storage. Many women say it feels like a few busy days, but worth the comfort it brings later. At Proactive For Her, every step is guided by experienced female fertility doctors who focus on safety, privacy, and clear explanations.
Success Rates of Frozen Eggs
Success rates depend mostly on the age at which you freeze your eggs.
Under 35: about 90 percent of eggs survive the thawing process
35–38: around 70 percent
Above 38: roughly 50 percent
Our experience shows better results when women freeze their eggs before 35 and also follow healthy lifestyle habits. All cycles are tracked in licensed labs with strict quality checks. We believe in giving realistic expectations, not overpromising results.
Risks and Side Effects
Egg freezing is generally safe. Some women feel bloated or uncomfortable during the stimulation phase, similar to PMS. Rarely, there can be stronger reactions, which is why every cycle is closely monitored. At Proactive For Her, your safety is the priority, and doctors track your response daily so any issues can be managed quickly.
