Egg freezing, also called Fertility Preservation, provides women with an extended window for family planning. Whether you want to freeze your eggs for personal reasons or as a medical precaution, New England Fertility is here to help.
Over the course of a woman’s life, the viability of her eggs diminishes. Fertility peaks during a woman’s mid-20s and slowly starts to decline until the age of 40, when most women have a 5% or less chance to conceive naturally.
By taking advantage of the most fertile and viable eggs during the younger reproductive years, and carefully cryopreserving them, women are assured that their conception options extend beyond the most fertile biological years.
Dr. Gad Lavy will guide you through an egg freezing consultation, discuss your medical history, and conduct a medical examination and ultrasound to determine if you are a good candidate for egg freezing. If so, we’ll create a schedule that will prepare your body for egg extraction, and administer medication (for approximately 10 days) to help you produce the greatest number of viable eggs for safe extraction.
The egg retrieval process only takes about 30 minutes. Once the eggs have been extracted, they are quickly frozen using a technique called vitrification and then perfectly cryopreserved until you are ready to use them to conceive.

There are many factors, both personal and medical, that make egg freezing a great option for women. Many patients who take advantage of this service do so because of one or more of the following factors:
Egg freezing cost is dependent on the amount of medication your body requires to ready the eggs for retrieval. The freeze cycle is $6,200, not including medications or an evaluation cycle, and annual storage fees are $700 per year.
Our prices for egg freezing are fair and competitive, and include all necessary testing, monitoring, and medications for the entire process. During your egg freezing consultation, our staff will work closely with you to discuss your financial options.
