In a world where women are claiming more autonomy and control over their personal and professional choices, egg freezing emerges as a revolutionary solution that offers freedom and flexibility in family planning. Modern society imposes increasing demands on both a professional and personal level, resulting in many women choosing to delay motherhood, either to focus on their career, find the right partner, or for other personal reasons.
Egg freezing allows women to preserve their fertility regardless of age, reducing the stress often associated with the decision to have children. Through advancements in medical technology, this process is becoming increasingly accessible and effective, giving women the opportunity to become mothers when they wish, without feeling pressured by biological constraints.
CHLOE OQ: The Revolution in Egg Freezing
CHLOE OQ is the leading technology in egg freezing, providing for the first time a comprehensive and accurate analysis of egg quality. Using advanced algorithms and artificial intelligence, CHLOE OQ evaluates both qualitative and quantitative characteristics, offering valuable information about each woman’s reproductive health.
What does the CHLOE OQ analysis include?
-
Evaluation and Scoring of Eggs
Each egg is assessed individually, considering its quality and morphological characteristics such as shape, size, and consistency. Through this process, the eggs with the best chances of successful fertilization can be identified.
-
Chances of Blastocyst Formation
The probability of each egg developing into a blastocyst, a 5th-6th day embryo, which has a higher chance of successful implantation, is calculated. The analysis provides estimates for both each individual egg and the overall batch of eggs.
-
Chances of Having a Child
Based on all the data from the evaluation, CHLOE OQ calculates the overall chances of achieving pregnancy and having a child. This gives each woman a clear picture of her prospects and helps her make the best decisions for her future.

Frequently Asked QuestionsAbout Egg Freezing
What is egg freezing?
Egg freezing is a pioneering medical procedure that allows women to freeze their eggs for future use. In this way, women can preserve their fertility and have the option to become mothers when they choose, regardless of age or other factors.
Why choose egg freezing?
There are various reasons for egg freezing, including:
- Career and Education: Women who want to focus on their professional development or studies can delay having children without worrying about their fertility.
- Medical Reasons: Women who need to undergo treatments that may affect their fertility, such as chemotherapy, can freeze their eggs before starting the treatment.
- Personal Reasons: The search for the right partner or personal desires may delay the decision to have children.
What is the egg freezing process?
The egg freezing process is relatively simple and is completed within 10-14 days. During this period, the woman receives medication to mature more eggs. The maturation process is monitored through ultrasounds and blood tests. The egg retrieval takes only a few minutes. After the egg collection is completed, the woman remains under observation for a few hours and can then resume her daily activities.
The egg freezing procedure includes the following stages:
- Ovarian Stimulation: Administration of medication to stimulate the maturation of more follicles.
- Monitoring: Monitoring follicular development through ultrasounds and blood tests.
- Egg Retrieval: Collecting the eggs through a minimally invasive procedure.
- Freezing: The eggs are frozen and stored in special containers with liquid nitrogen at -196°C.
What is the advantage of the vitrification method in egg freezing?
The vitrification method has the advantage of preventing the formation of ice crystals, which can damage the eggs, sperm, embryos, or ovarian tissue. This is achieved through rapid cooling and dehydration of the cell before freezing, using protectants that reduce water content and prevent cell destruction.
What are the survival success rates of eggs using vitrification?
The vitrification method has a much higher survival rate for eggs, around 99%, whereas traditional freezing methods have about a 55% survival rate. This makes vitrification a more effective and safe method for freezing eggs.
How does AI technology impact egg freezing?
The leading technology in egg freezing, CHLOE OQ, provides the first comprehensive analysis of collected eggs, including:
- Evaluation and scoring of the qualitative and morphological characteristics of each egg individually.
- Percentage chances for blastocyst formation (5th-6th day embryos) for each egg and overall.
- Percentage chances of having a child.
What is the ideal age for egg freezing?
Egg freezing is mainly recommended for women aged 20 to 35. However, there is no strict age limit as it depends on the woman’s health and ovarian function. While the process is most effective when done earlier, each case is different. According to studies, the younger the woman, the better the quality and number of eggs, and the higher the chances of a future pregnancy.
How many years can I freeze my eggs?
According to Greek legislation, the duration for egg freezing is 5 years, with the possibility of extending for an additional 5 years each time, upon written request to the Assisted Reproduction Unit, provided that the woman has not exceeded the age of 50. From the age of 50 to 54, special permission from the National Authority for Medically Assisted Reproduction is required to use the frozen eggs.
Is the method safe?
The American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) considers the vitrification method suitable for everyday use. According to studies, children born through the use of this method show that it is completely safe.
How can I use them?
When you decide to have a child, the frozen eggs will be thawed in the laboratory and fertilized with the sperm of your husband/partner or a sperm donor. After fertilization, the embryos are monitored to assess their development, and the best ones are selected for embryo transfer.
