Are there any risks or drawbacks associated with egg freezing?

Yes, there are some risks associated with egg freezing. One of the primary risks is ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), which can result from the hormone stimulation process used to produce multiple eggs. Other potential issues may include side effects from medications, complications from the egg retrieval procedure, and emotional stress. It’s important to discuss these risks with a fertility specialist before proceeding.
