Egg freezing or also known as oocyte cryopreservation is a method of fertility preservation, where eggs are thawed and fertilized in the laboratory to make embryos that can be placed in a woman’s uterus at the time when she is ready to become a mother.
Gretchen wrote:
“I’m so happy to share this news with you! I finally decided to freeze my eggs! Will document my journey and show you how I did my procedure in Victory Art Laboratory in Makati with daughter & father doctors Gia & Greg Pastorfide.”
She included a photo with the OB-Gynecologist and fertility specialist Dr. Gia Pastorfide and her father Dr. Greg Pastorfide taken at Victory Art Laboratory in Makati where she had the said process. There, she also met other patients who shared their own inspiring stories.
