Summary

This study looks at whether taking a two-month break from birth control pills before freezing eggs leads to better egg quality and quantity. About 394 women planning to freeze their eggs will be randomly assigned to either pause their pill for two months or start the egg freezing process right away. The goal is to see if the pause improves the number of mature eggs retrieved.
