Understanding egg & embryo freezing in Orange County
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 Newport Beach, CA, we understand that every individual’s journey is unique. There are several reasons why individuals choose to freeze their eggs:
- Future Family: 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.

California Insurance Coverage for Egg Freezing: What Our Orange County Patients Should Know
At CCRM Fertility of Newport Beach, we are committed to helping you preserve your fertility with clarity and confidence. Thanks to evolving laws in California, more individuals—including single parents by choice, LGBTQ+ individuals, and those undergoing medical treatments—have access to comprehensive insurance coverage for egg freezing and fertility preservation.
Beginning early 2026, California law, under Senate Bill 729, requires fully insured large group health plans (employers with more than 100 employees) to cover:
- Diagnosis and treatment of infertility
- Up to three completed egg retrievals
- Medically necessary fertility preservation, including egg, sperm, and embryo freezing
- Unlimited embryo transfers following clinical guidelines
This means that if you’re enrolled in a qualifying plan, you may be eligible for insurance-covered egg freezing, especially if you’re preparing for medical treatment that could affect your fertility (such as chemotherapy or surgery)
This inclusive definition helps ensure access for many patients who were previously overlooked by traditional fertility insurance guidelines.
Understanding Plan Types and What’s Covered
Insurance coverage for egg freezing in California depends on the type of plan you have:
- Large group plans (101+ employees): Required to cover egg freezing and fertility preservation by 2025–2026
- Small group plans (≤100 employees): Must offer infertility coverage, but IVF and egg freezing may not be required
- CalPERS plans (state employees): IVF and fertility preservation coverage begins January 1, 2027
- Self-insured employers, religious organizations, and Medi-Cal: Not required to follow state fertility mandates
If you’re unsure what kind of plan you have, the financial counselors at CCRM can help verify your benefits.

PCOS, Fertility, and Egg Freezing at CCRM Fertility of Newport Beach
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 Newport Beach, 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.
