Welcome to HERS: Human Eggs For Reproductive Safekeeping. HERS is LifeQuest’s new Egg Freezing Program. Egg freezing, or oocyte cryopreservation, is a recent medical advancement that provides younger women with an opportunity to preserve their fertility. For the first time in history, this assisted reproductive technology may be able to slow the ticking of the biological clock by giving women an opportunity to start a biological family when the time is right.

Is Elective Fertility Preservation Right for You

You may benefit from elective egg freezing if you are between the ages of 19 and 37 years old, and you know you want to have a family but the time is just not right. You may be building your career; or you may be single and waiting until you meet the right partner. There may be medical reasons as well, such as preserving fertility before chemotherapy for the treatment of cancer. Egg freezing offers the opportunity for a woman to preserve her eggs at the peak of her fertility so she can have genetically-related children at a later, more appropriate time in her life.

We invite you to explore our egg freezing website for information, answers, and an overview of how LifeQuest can help you achieve your goals of choice, freedom and family.
