Egg Freezing
Cryopreservation of unfertilised eggs for future use.
Egg freezing allows eggs retrieved during a stimulation cycle to be preserved for future fertilisation, often considered for age-related fertility planning or ahead of medical treatments that may affect fertility.

Diminished Ovarian Reserve
Decreased ovarian reserve is a condition where a woman's ovaries contain fewer eggs than expected for her age, or the remaining eggs are of lower quality. This can make conceiving naturally more difficult and raises the likelihood of needing assisted reproduction. It typically occurs with age, but can also result from certain medical treatments such as chemotherapy, or from underlying health conditions. Early detection through hormone testing and ovarian reserve assessment helps clarify fertility potential and treatment options.
