Egg freezing (oocyte cryopreservation) is a method of preserving a woman's fertility by collecting, freezing, and storing her eggs for future use. In Türkiye, egg freezing is a medically indicated procedure, carried out within Article 20 of the Ministry of Health's Assisted Reproduction (ÜYTE) Regulation.
Who Is Egg Freezing For?
Turkish law permits the storage of eggs only where there is a medical indication. For women these are: before treatment that can damage the ovaries (for example chemotherapy or radiotherapy); before surgery that may cause loss of reproductive function (for example removal of the ovaries); and low ovarian reserve in a woman who has not yet given birth, or a family history of early menopause, documented by a medical board report from three specialist physicians.
Please note: elective or “social” egg freezing — freezing for career, personal timing or lifestyle reasons, without a medical indication — is not permitted in Türkiye and is not offered at our clinic. The first step is an assessment of your ovarian reserve (AMH, antral follicle count); whether a legal indication exists is determined by that assessment, together with your doctor.
The Process
Ovarian stimulation using hormonal medications over approximately 10–14 days, with close ultrasound monitoring. Once follicles reach optimal size, eggs are retrieved under sedation in a minor surgical procedure, then vitrified and stored in liquid nitrogen.
Storage and Future Use
Eggs may be stored for up to 5 years under Turkish legal regulations. When ready, eggs are thawed, fertilised via ICSI, and resulting embryos transferred to the uterus.
What Determines the Outcome
The single strongest factor is the age at which the eggs are frozen: eggs collected at a younger age tend to be of better quality, and more of them survive thawing and fertilisation. We do not publish fixed success-rate figures, because a number taken out of your own context can be misleading. Your physician will assess your ovarian reserve and explain what is realistic in your situation before you decide.
