Fertility Preservation

Safely preserve your fertility by freezing eggs, sperm, or embryos with vitrification for future family-building options.

Fertility Preservation with Egg and Embryo Freezing

California IVF Fertility Center offers comprehensive fertility preservation options for patients wishing to freeze eggs, sperm, or embryos for future use. Whether you’re focused on your career, waiting for the right time to start a family, or preparing for medical treatment, our advanced techniques in cryopreservation (freezing) help preserve your reproductive potential.

As women delay childbearing, understanding how age affects fertility becomes increasingly important. Fortunately, today’s rapid-freezing method, known as vitrification, allows eggs and embryos to be safely frozen and stored long-term with excellent survival and success rates when thawed for future use.

Fertility Preservation and Cancer Treatment

Protect your future fertility with advanced cryopreservation technology.

Fertility preservation is especially important for patients diagnosed with cancer. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause permanent damage to eggs and sperm, leading to infertility. At California IVF, we work closely with oncologists to coordinate preservation before treatment begins — giving patients peace of mind that they can pursue parenthood later.

Our center has extensive experience with oocyte (egg) vitrification, a highly specialized process required to freeze eggs successfully. We’ve achieved live births from frozen oocytes, a milestone that only a select number of clinics can claim.

While egg freezing is no longer experimental, patients should choose their clinic carefully — many centers are still developing the expertise needed for consistent success.

How We Can Help

Fast access. Compassionate guidance. Proven results.

We understand that fertility preservation decisions often need to be made quickly. Our team is prepared to expedite consultations and treatment timelines so you can move forward without delay.

Once your eggs, sperm, or embryos are frozen, you can proceed with treatment or future plans knowing that your fertility options are protected. In the future, these frozen materials can be used for IUI, IVF, donor programs, or embryo adoption.

Genetic Testing and Fertility Preservation

Proactive options for inherited conditions.

For patients with inherited cancer risks or genetic conditions, we also offer Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) and Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS). These technologies allow us to test embryos for specific genetic markers before transfer, helping reduce the chance of passing on certain diseases.

Since 2006, California IVF has partnered with top genetic testing laboratories to provide comprehensive embryo screening and counseling for patients interested in this advanced option.

I absolutely love the staff at California IVF!!! Over 3 years ago we started facing our battle with fertility and received help from California IVF. Dr. Z and his staff were so supportive and helpful. Our first transfer was not successful,but we tried again and we had our daughter. Now 3 years later we are back at it again with our 2 remaining embryos. The staff remembered us right away and have been most helpful is starting up this process again.
