In recent years, egg freezing has seen a marked rise in popularity across Canada. The Canadian Fertility and Andrology Society (CFAS) has reported a substantial increase in the number of egg retrieval cycles performed for the purpose of freezing or banking eggs. In 2025, there were 2,663 retrieval cycles recorded, a significant jump from 217 procedures in 2013. This trend suggests a changing attitude toward reproductive health and family planning, with more individuals considering egg freezing as an option for preserving fertility. The increase could be attributed to various factors, including advancements in reproductive technology, changes in societal norms, and greater awareness about fertility options among younger individuals. As egg freezing becomes more accessible and widely accepted, its implications for family planning and women's health in Canada continue to evolve.
