Thanks to cutting-edge medical advancements, it is now possible to safely and effectively freeze eggs and sperm. At the 360° Fertility Center, we offer secure cryopreservation, allowing you to protect your fertility and choose the right time to start your family.
Social freezing acts as a backup plan—an egg reserve that you can access if needed, but are never obligated to use. Our experienced specialists provide expert and compassionate guidance on this option.
You are born with all the eggs you will ever have. However, as you age, genetic changes and external factors can impact egg quality. Before 35, the chances of a healthy pregnancy are significantly higher. Social freezing allows you to preserve high-quality eggs for the future.
You know that you want children one day, but the timing isn’t right due to your career, studies, or life circumstances. While biology doesn’t wait, our specialists can’t slow down the biological clock—but we can help you outsmart it.
At a certain age, natural conception rates decline, and egg donation may be the only option—but in Switzerland, this is legally prohibited. Many patients also prefer to conceive with their own eggs. Social freezing allows you to be your own egg donor in the future.
Modern cryopreservation techniques make it possible to store eggs and sperm safely for years. Many women find it reassuring to know that they have this option—without the immediate pressure of conceiving.
A simple blood test measures your anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) level, an important indicator of your ovarian reserve.
Tip: If you complete this test before your first consultation, it helps us provide a more detailed and efficient assessment.
During your first appointment, we discuss:
Fact: The younger you are and the more eggs we retrieve, the higher the success rates for future pregnancies.
To maximize the number of eggs retrieved, a short hormone therapy is used to stimulate egg production.
The retrieved eggs are immediately frozen at -196°C using liquid nitrogen and securely stored.
Storage duration: 5 years (with the option to extend for another 5 years)
When the time is right, your eggs can be fertilized through IVF and transferred to your uterus. If the first attempt isn’t successful, previously frozen eggs allow for further tries without the need for additional stimulation.
Protect Your Young, Healthy Eggs Today...
At 25 years old, you have more healthy eggs than later in life. Since fertility declines with age, freezing eggs earlier increases the chance of a successful pregnancy in the future.
Many women choose to freeze their eggs because they haven’t met the right partner or aren’t ready to have children yet. Studies show common reasons include:
Social freezing allows you to prepare for the future while keeping your options open.
The ideal age range for social freezing is between 25 and 35.
Why?
Freezing eggs early preserves their potential, so you can later be your own egg donor if needed.
The number of eggs needed depends on your age and family goals.
Each case is unique, and we provide personalized calculations to determine the optimal number of eggs to freeze.
We use the RI IVF-Witness System, which prevents sample mix-ups by encoding every sample container with an RFID chip.
The anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) test provides a key indication of:
Understanding your AMH level helps us tailor your treatment plan for the best possible outcome.
