Egg Bank

An egg bank is a facility that collects, freezes, and stores eggs (oocytes) from healthy women for future use. It allows women to preserve their fertility, often for medical, personal, or career reasons. When needed, the frozen eggs are thawed, combined with sperm through fertilization, and implanted in the uterus to help achieve pregnancy. Egg banks provide a safe, monitored option for preserving reproductive options, ensuring eggs are available when a woman is ready to conceive, regardless of her age or health at the time of use.
