About Egg Freezing

Egg Freezing abroad typically involves sedation anaesthesia, about 1h in surgery, usually outpatient, a minimally-invasive approach.

Frequently asked questions

What accreditation applies to egg and embryo freezing clinics in Czechia?
Clinics must hold a tissue bank license from SÚKL (State Institute for Drug Control) and be registered with the Czech Ministry of Health for assisted reproduction services. Laboratories performing vitrification should meet ISO 15189 standards, and many Czech fertility centers are also accredited by ESHRE and participate in European IVF monitoring consortium data reporting.
What is included in an egg or embryo freezing package in Czechia?
A typical package includes the initial fertility consultation and AMH blood test, ovarian stimulation monitoring with ultrasounds, the egg retrieval procedure under sedation, vitrification of harvested eggs or created embryos, and the first year of cryostorage. Medications for ovarian stimulation are sometimes included but are often billed separately based on the dosage required for the individual patient.
What freezing technologies do Czech fertility clinics use?
Czech clinics universally use vitrification (ultra-rapid freezing) rather than slow-freezing, achieving oocyte survival rates of 90-95%. Cryostorage is maintained in liquid nitrogen dewars with 24/7 electronic monitoring and alarm systems, and many clinics use automated vitrification devices like the Cryotop method to standardize the process and minimize human handling variation.
What follow-up is provided after egg or embryo freezing in Czechia?
Patients rest at the clinic for 1-2 hours post-retrieval and receive instructions on managing mild bloating or cramping. A follow-up call or video consultation is scheduled 5-7 days later to discuss the number of mature eggs successfully vitrified and any next steps. The clinic sends annual cryostorage renewal reminders and remains available to coordinate thawing and transfer when the patient is ready, including with partner clinics abroad if preferred.
How are payments and insurance handled for egg freezing in Czechia?
The egg retrieval and initial vitrification fee is typically paid in full before or on the day of the procedure, with annual storage fees billed separately (usually 200-400 EUR per year). Insurance coverage for elective fertility preservation is uncommon, though some European insurers cover it when medically indicated (e.g., before cancer treatment). Czech clinics accept bank transfers in CZK or EUR and major credit cards.
How long can frozen eggs and embryos remain viable?
There is no known biological expiration date — vitrification halts all cellular activity at -196°C. Healthy babies have been born from embryos frozen for over 27 years. The critical factor is egg quality at the time of freezing, not storage duration, so younger eggs frozen for decades will outperform older eggs frozen recently.
What is the ideal age to freeze my eggs, and when is it too late?
The optimal window is between ages 25-35, when egg quality and quantity are high. Freezing after age 38 yields significantly diminished returns due to declining egg quality. While freezing at any age preserves eggs better than retrieving them even later, the cost-benefit balance becomes less favorable after the late 30s.
What is the difference between freezing eggs versus embryos?
Frozen embryos have a slightly higher thaw survival rate (95-99%) compared to eggs (90-95%), because embryos are more structurally stable. However, egg freezing preserves reproductive autonomy — you do not need a sperm source at the time of freezing. Embryo freezing requires concurrent IVF but allows preimplantation genetic testing before storage.
What annual storage fees should I expect for frozen eggs or embryos abroad?
Annual storage fees at overseas clinics typically range from $200-$800 per year, significantly less than the $500-$1,500 common in the US. Some clinics offer multi-year storage packages at a discount. Confirm the fee schedule upfront, what happens if you miss a payment, and whether the clinic has a track record of long-term storage (some have been operating for 20+ years).
Can I ship frozen eggs or embryos between countries, and what are the logistics?
Yes — specialized biomedical couriers transport reproductive material internationally in temperature-monitored nitrogen dewars. Both the sending and receiving clinics must consent to the transfer. You will need to check import regulations in your destination country, as some require specific documentation or quarantine testing. The process typically takes 2-4 weeks to coordinate and costs $500-$2,000 depending on distance.
