Does egg freezing hurt?

By Zaira Salvador B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).

In order to freeze the eggs, women need to go through a process of ovarian stimulation and follicular puncture. These procedures can be uncomfortable because they must take hormonal medication and then undergo surgery to remove the eggs. However, unless there are any complications, it is not painful.
