Advanced, Safe, and Future-Focused Fertility Preservation for Women Worldwide

Egg freezing at Memorial Hospital Turkey offers women from the U.S., Canada, and around the world a modern, highly reliable option to preserve fertility for the future. Whether you are delaying pregnancy, focusing on career or education, or facing medical treatments that may impact fertility, Memorial’s IVF specialists combine world-class technology—such as Embryoscope+ incubators and cutting-edge ovarian stimulation protocols—with personalized care to give you the highest possible chances of a healthy pregnancy later in life.

🩺 What Is Egg Freezing?

Egg freezing, also known as oocyte cryopreservation, is a fertility preservation method in which a woman’s eggs are retrieved, matured, and frozen for future use. The process begins with controlled ovarian stimulation followed by a minor egg retrieval procedure. Once collected, eggs are rapidly frozen using vitrification, a modern technique that prevents ice crystal formation and protects egg quality for long-term storage. These frozen eggs can later be thawed, fertilized through IVF, and transferred to the uterus when the woman is ready to conceive.

Egg freezing offers women valuable control over their reproductive timeline, especially when age, career plans, or medical concerns may affect future fertility. By preserving eggs at their current quality, women can significantly improve their chances of a healthy pregnancy later in life. This method also provides emotional reassurance and flexibility, allowing individuals to plan motherhood on their own terms with confidence.

🩺 Types of Egg Freezing Procedures

  • Elective (Social) Egg Freezing – For women who want to delay pregnancy while preserving high-quality eggs.
  • Medical Egg Freezing – For women facing fertility-threatening medical treatments such as chemotherapy or ovarian surgery.
  • Low-Dose or “Gentle” Stimulation Protocols – Tailored approaches for women with low ovarian reserve or sensitivity to hormones.
  • Dual-Stimulation Cycles – Two stimulation phases in one cycle for patients who need to maximize egg collection quickly.
  • Fertility Preservation for Single Patients – Protocols specially designed for individuals without partners.

🩺 Who Is a Good Candidate?

✔️ Women who want to delay pregnancy for personal, career, or educational reasons
✔️ Individuals with declining ovarian reserve or age-related fertility concerns
✔️ Women with family histories of early menopause
✔️ Patients undergoing chemotherapy, radiation, or ovarian surgery
✔️ Those with hormonal or ovulation disorders affecting egg quality
✔️ Women experiencing high stress, irregular cycles, or lifestyle factors reducing fertility

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review I recently travelled from Australia to Istanbul for a 4,750 graft hair transplant at Memorial Hospital with Dr. Salim Salimov, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. Dr. Salimov is incredibly skilled and professional. He explained the entire procedure clearly, answered all my questions, and made me feel completely confident. The surgery went smoothly, and I was amazed that I didn’t feel any pain at all after the procedure. The nurses and staff were also outstanding — friendly, supportive, and attentive throughout the whole journey. The hospital itself is extremely clean, modern, and well-organised. I’m extremely happy with my results so far, and I will definitely be coming back for any future treatments. I highly recommend Memorial Hospital and Dr. Salim Salimov to anyone considering a hair transplant. Outstanding experience all around!

    We came for first time on December, I haven’t seen until now any other Hospital better than Memorial Bahçelievler Hastanesi. Very organized, they can offer you the comfort that any other hospital will offer. The staff was amazing, very kind and helpful, from receptionist, translators (I have to mention Ola and Elena), the nurses, the doctors and the professors all the staff is the best! I will recommend 🙌🏻 definitely.
