Understanding Egg & Embryo Freezing in Denver, CO
Egg freezing (also known as oocyte cryopreservation) is a revolutionary technology that allows women to preserve their eggs at their current quality and age. This procedure involves carefully extracting mature eggs from the ovaries and freezing them for future use.
Embryo freezing, on the other hand, involves fertilizing the eggs with sperm to create embryos before freezing them. Both options allow individuals to preserve their fertility for various reasons, ensuring that they have viable options for starting a family when the time is right.
The Top Reasons to Freeze Your Eggs
At CCRM Fertility of Denver, we understand that every individual’s journey is unique. There are several reasons why individuals choose to freeze their eggs:
- Future Family Planning: Many female partners choose to freeze their eggs to have the flexibility of starting a family at a later stage in life when they are ready emotionally, financially, or personally.
- Cancer: Women undergoing cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy or radiation, may face a risk of infertility. Freezing eggs before cancer treatments and other Oncofertility services can provide them with the opportunity to have biological children in the future.
- Transgender Pregnancy Options: Transgender individuals who wish to transition may opt to freeze their eggs before starting hormone therapy or undergoing surgeries that can affect their fertility. This allows them to preserve their genetic material and have biological children in the future.
- Premature Ovarian Failure (POF): Women with conditions like premature ovarian failure or diminished ovarian reserve may choose to freeze their eggs to increase their chances of having biological children in the future.
- Surgeries: Individuals who are planning to undergo surgeries that may impact their fertility, such as removal of ovaries or reproductive organs, may choose to freeze their eggs or embryos as a proactive measure.

The Egg Freezing Process at CCRM in Denver, CO
At CCRM Fertility of Denver, we provide a comprehensive and individualized approach to the egg-freezing process. Our experienced team will guide you through each step, ensuring your comfort and understanding.
Preparing for Your Egg Freezing Consultation
The journey begins with an initial consultation at our fertility clinic. During this consultation, we will discuss your medical history, perform a thorough fertility evaluation, and address any questions or concerns you may have. We will work closely with you to develop a customized treatment plan that aligns with your goals and preferences.
Ovarian Stimulation and Monitoring
The next phase involves ovarian stimulation, where you will receive hormonal medications to promote the growth and maturation of multiple eggs. Our team will closely monitor your progress through ultrasound imaging and hormone-level testing to ensure optimal results.
Egg Retrieval Procedure
When your eggs have reached the desired maturity, we will perform the egg retrieval procedure. This is a minimally invasive procedure performed under sedation to ensure your comfort. Using ultrasound guidance, a thin needle is inserted into the ovary using ultrasound guidance, a thin needle is inserted into the ovaries to carefully collect the mature eggs. The procedure typically takes about 15-20 minutes and is performed in our state-of-the-art facility at CCRM Denver, CO. Our skilled and compassionate medical team will ensure your safety and comfort throughout the procedure.
Egg Freezing and Storage
After the retrieval, the collected eggs are immediately transferred to our laboratory, where they undergo a specialized freezing process called vitrification. This technique ensures that the eggs are preserved in a state that maintains their quality and viability. The frozen eggs are then carefully stored in our secure cryopreservation facility.
At CCRM Fertility of Denver, we prioritize the safety and security of your frozen eggs. Our laboratory facilities are equipped with advanced technology and adhere to the highest quality standards to ensure the long-term preservation of your precious genetic material.
Post-Egg Freezing Considerations
Once your eggs are successfully frozen and stored, our team will provide guidance on the next steps. Whether you choose to use frozen eggs in the future for assisted reproductive treatments like in vitro fertilization (IVF) or decide to pursue other options, our experts will be there to support and guide you along the way.
PCOS, Fertility, and Egg Freezing at CCRM Fertility of Denver
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common causes of infertility, affecting approximately 6% to 13% of women of reproductive age. Despite how prevalent it is, many individuals remain undiagnosed, making it difficult to understand their reproductive health and plan for the future.
At CCRM Fertility of Denver, we specialize in helping patients with PCOS take proactive steps toward building their families.
The Role of Egg Freezing for PCOS
The good news: many people with PCOS have a higher number of eggs available in their ovaries. However, like all individuals, egg quality and quantity decline with age. That’s why egg freezing (oocyte cryopreservation) can be a valuable option for patients with PCOS who want to preserve their fertility before trying to conceive.
Because PCOS patients often respond robustly to fertility medications, a single egg freezing cycle may yield more eggs than average, making the process more efficient and potentially more cost-effective. Preserving eggs at a younger age, when they are likely to be of higher quality, can give patients greater flexibility when the time is right to grow their family.
CCRM Denver’s Advanced Technology, Personalized Plans
CCRM Fertility of Denver offers world-class embryology labs, highly controlled stimulation protocols, and an experienced team that tailors every egg freezing cycle to your unique biology. Our goal is to make egg preservation as safe, successful, and empowering as possible, especially for patients with PCOS.
If you’re looking to take a proactive step in your fertility journey, schedule a consultation with our Denver team to explore whether egg freezing is right for you.
