Embryos vs eggs
If you already have a cis-gender male who would like to provide sperm for your eggs and you’d like to decide now who the father will be, you might be freezing embryos instead of eggs. Eggs are unfertilized, and embryos are fertilized. Couples who want to have kids later, but together, might choose to do this, as do some single mothers with a specific sperm donor in mind. If you are unsure about who will provide the sperm or do not want to fertilize your eggs now, you’ll just freeze your eggs. This is a question your doctor will ask you, and worth thinking about in advance of your procedure.
