To freeze or not to freeze?

Social egg freezing, affectionately known as “Eggsurance” by some, is a process whereby a woman has her ovaries stimulated by medication and then goes through an in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) cycle to collect eggs. These eggs are then cryopreserved using a technique called vitrification that avoids ice formation within the egg. They are then cooled to below the freezing point of water.
