Egg freezing offers the freedom to plan for your future while preserving your fertility today. Whether you’re focusing on your career, health, or simply not ready to start a family yet, this option allows you to keep those possibilities open. At Audubon Fertility, we make the process clear, personalized, and supportive—so you can move forward with confidence.

The number one infertility challenge is the age of your eggs, but now you're able to take control of your future with egg freezing in New Orleans. We're proud to offer cryopreservation to people who want or need to delay parenthood.

Our goal is for you to be informed about your fertility. The more information you have, the better you can make informed decisions for your future.

Over the past five years, we've made incredible advances in the area of cryopreservation (egg freezing). Vitrification is our method of choice for cryopreservation, which utilizes flash freeze technology significantly increasing the viability of your eggs.

Is Egg Freezing Right for you?

Egg freezing can be a good option for individuals who:

Want to preserve fertility while focusing on personal or professional goals

Are preparing for medical treatments, like chemotherapy or radiation, that can impact ovarian function
Are considering donor egg preservation for future IVF cycles

How Egg Freezing Works

1. Fertility Assessment + Consult

You'll get a chance to sit down with one of our fertility specialists to have an in-depth discussion of your needs, expectations, and the process involved. When you're ready we'll perform a fertility analysis to get an idea of your current egg fitness and discuss the cost of egg freezing.

Fertility testing can include hormonal lab tests (AMH, FSH, LH), a preconception screening, and ovarian/uterine evaluation.

2. Ovary Stimulation

When your cycle starts we'll stimulate egg production with individualized fertility medications. Periodic lab work and ultrasounds are done to monitor egg growth over the next 10 days. Then, a medication will be given to prepare your eggs for retrieval.

3. Egg Retrieval

During this 15 minute procedure, your fertility specialist will retrieve several eggs from your ovaries via the insertion of a needle through your vaginal wall. You’ll be under sedation and won’t feel a thing.

4. Egg Freezing (Cryopreservation)

Immediately after retrieval, your eggs will be frozen in our state-of-the-art laboratory, just steps from the procedure room by our embryologists, who are the best in the field. Your eggs will be frozen using vitrification, a flash-freezing technique that increases egg survival rates to nearly 100%.

5. Come Back When You're Ready

Whenever you're ready to start your family, our embryologists will fertilize your eggs and create embryos with your sperm of choice. Then we'll simply transfer a single, healthy embryo into your uterus during ovulation.

And voilà--your family on your timeline!
