Considering egg freezing? Learn how the process works, what it costs in Canada, and what to expect every step of the way with Ovassure Egg Freezing

What Is Egg Freezing?

Egg freezing (oocyte cryopreservation) allows individuals to preserve their eggs for future use. It’s an empowering option for anyone who wants to plan for a family later, whether that’s due to career, travel, medical reasons, or not having found the right partner yet.

Who Chooses to Freeze Their Eggs?

While many women between their late 20s and mid-30s choose egg freezing, it’s also becoming common among:

• Same-sex female couples who may use frozen eggs for future family building,
• Trans and non-binary individuals beginning gender-affirming treatments,
• And individuals with medical conditions (such as endometriosis or low ovarian reserve).

What to Expect in the Process

1. Consultation & Testing: Hormone testing and an ultrasound help assess ovarian reserve.
2. Stimulation: Daily medication encourages multiple eggs to mature in one cycle.
3. Egg Retrieval: A short, ultrasound-guided procedure under light sedation.
4. Freezing & Storage: Mature eggs are vitrified (rapid-frozen) and stored safely for future use.

Costs and Financial Planning

The average egg-freezing cycle in Ontario ranges between $8,000–$10,000, plus storage and medication. Ovassure’s care team can help you understand your options.

The Bottom Line

Egg freezing is more than a procedure, it’s peace of mind for your future family plans.
